Pizza Cupcakes

Pizza night is a weekly occurrence at our house and these easy pizza cupcakes a fun swap for a usual weeknight pizza. They are easy to make, and perfect to make with kids, plus delicious! I love pizza cupcakes served as a meal alongside a big salad or fresh fruit. But they also make a really fun appetizer or party snack.

Pizza cupcakes truly could not be easier to make! You only need 5 ingredients and about 25 minutes. Makes these and tell us what you think.

Ingredients

• Pizza dough – roll out refrigerated (like Pillsbury) is best
• Olive oil
• Pizza sauce – store bought or make your own
• Mozzarella cheese
• Mini pepperoni
• Italian seasoning – optional but I really like to add it

How to make Pizza Cupcakes

Roll out the pizza crusts and use a 4 inch round cookie cutter to cut into small circles.

Use a pastry brush to brush the inside of each cupcake cavity with oil. You want to see a little bit of oil pooling in the bottom. Not lots but enough that we will get a few crispy areas during baking.

Add the pizza crusts to the prepared cupcake tin. Then add a little bit of cheese in the bottom, topped with sauce, then topped with more cheese, then pepperonis on top. Sprinkle with Italian seasoning if using.

Bake at 400°F for 13-15 minutes. For my oven 13 minutes in a good amount. The edges should turn very golden brown and the cheese will begin to bubble. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for a few minutes before removing from the pan. Serve warm.

Notes

• If you want to use other cheeses anything that melts can work. Sometimes I will sprinkle on a little Parmesan cheese during the last couple minutes of baking.
• If you want to add other toppings beyond pepperoni feel free.
• The recipe card amounts below will make 12 pizza cupcakes in a standard size muffin pan.
