I decided to try a recipe that was posted on Haus of Girls that involves baking pizza in a muffin tin! Cute cupcake sized pizzas! YUM! And, you know what? My kids LOVE pizza, but wow… they REALLY loved this recipe! I might be making it weekly!
Here are all of the ingredients. I highly recommend Chef Boyardee pizza sauce for this, its every kids FAVORITE!
Roll out the pizza dough, and cut 16 3″ circles. I cut out 12, then had to reroll it out to get 4 more circles. I didn’t have a circle cookie cutter, so I used the opening of a sippy cup.
Press each to well greased muffin tins and bake 10-12 minutes.
Then, pull it out of the oven and top it with 1 tablespoon of pizza sauce and 1 tablespoon of mozzarella cheese
Then, the funnest part. I let the kids place the pepperonis on top!
Autumn, being so delicate about her placement of pepperonis. Heehee!
And, the final result! YUMMY!
And, here is the recipe…
Pizza Bites
1 Can Pizza Dough
1 Cup Pizza Sauce
1 Cup Shredded Reduced Fat Mozzarella
16 slices of Pepperoni

Roll out pizza dough to rectangle, about 10 inches by 13 inches
Cut out 3 inch circles, 16 total (I use my circle cookie cutter!)
Press each to well greased muffin tins and bake 10-12 minutes.
Remove from oven and top each one with 1 Tablespoon of both pizza sauce and shredded cheese.
Have your pepperoni placer place one pepperoni on each one.
Bake for 5-10 minutes until cheese is melted, at 400 degrees.
