Easy Pizza Cupcakes Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Spray 8 cups of a muffin tin with cooking spray.
• Finely chop cherry tomatoes and drain any liquid. Set aside.
• Unroll pizza crust on a floured work surface and roll out thinly into a large rectangle. Using a 4-inch round cookie or biscuit cutter, cut 8 circles in the dough. Place dough circles in the prepared muffin cups, pressing dough into the bottom and up the sides of each cup.
• Drop 1 teaspoon mozzarella into each cup. Top with 1 tablespoon of pizza sauce. Add chopped tomatoes and red onions. Add 1 tablespoon of mozzarella to each cup, and top with pepperoni. Sprinkle each cup with Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes, and garlic salt to taste.
• Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is bubbling and melted, 14 to 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool in the tin for about 5 minutes. Remove from the tin and serve hot.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Spread pizza sauce on cut slices of each muffin. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese over sauce. Top each with some pepperoni. Place on a cookie sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is melted and bubbly, 12 to 15 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Spray 10 muffin cups with cooking spray.
• Press biscuits, one at a time, between hands to flatten. Place each flattened biscuit in a muffin cup; press into bottom and up sides of muffin cup. Set aside for biscuit to settle and slightly rise, about 5 minutes. Lightly press biscuits into cups as needed.
• Spoon 1 tablespoon pizza sauce into each biscuit; top each with 1 slice pepperoni and 1 tablespoon mozzarella cheese.
• Bake in the preheated oven until biscuit is lightly browned and cheese is melted, about 10 minutes. Remove each pizza from tin and place on a cooling rack, about 5 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Use the oil to lightly grease the cups of two 12-cup muffin tins.
• Take pizza dough and put enough in each cup to cover the bottom and 1/3 to 1/2 up the sides. Sprinkle garlic salt over top, then spoon 1 tablespoon sauce onto each crust.
• Layer toppings on the sauce: pepperoni, bell pepper, and onion. Add about 1 tablespoon Mexican cheese to each and continue layering toppings: salami, more bell pepper, and more pepperoni. Add a layer of mozzarella cheese and Cheddar cheese. Continue layering toppings until muffin cups are slightly overfull; the toppings should not overflow during cooking, they will settle into the tin.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool in the tins for 2 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Spray a 24-cup mini muffin tin with cooking spray.
• Roll pizza dough on a lightly floured surface into a 12x18-inch rectangle. Use a pizza cutter to slice dough into 24 squares. Place mozzarella cheese and pepperoni slices on each square; you'll need to be able to enclose the toppings in the dough so keep that in mind. Carefully lift up each square and wrap dough around toppings. Pinch to seal shut and place seam-side down in the prepared muffin cups.
• Brush the tops of the dough balls with olive oil, then sprinkle with Italian seasoning and garlic powder. Top with Parmesan cheese.
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown on top, about 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat marinara sauce in a saucepan over medium-low heat.
• Remove pizza "cupcakes" from the oven and serve with warm marinara on the side for dipping.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Spray 9 wells in a cupcake tin with nonstick cooking spray, or line with paper liners (spray the liners with nonstick cooking spray).
• Combine flour, sugar, salt, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and baking powder in a bowl. Whisk to combine and make a well in the center.
• Add milk, oil, and egg to the well and whisk them gently together to blend before using a fork or spatula to incorporate the wet ingredients into the dry. Stir mozzarella cheese and pepperoni into the sticky batter. Divide batter amongst the prepared muffin cups.
• Bake in the preheated oven until cupcakes are lightly browned and baked through, 13 to 15 minutes. Cool in the pan for 1 to 2 minutes, then move to a cooling rack. Serve warm with pizza sauce for dipping if desired.
