Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup pizza sauce
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons parsley, finely chopped (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 pound pizza dough
  • 2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • 8 ounces pepperoni or turkey pepperoni

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C). Allow the pizza dough to come to room temperature (1-2 hours from the refrigerator).
  2. In a small bowl, make the garlic butter by combining melted unsalted butter, minced garlic, grated Parmesan cheese, sea salt, black pepper, dried oregano, and finely chopped parsley. Set this mixture aside.
  3. Divide the pizza dough into small balls, roughly the size of a ping pong ball.
  4. Brush the inside of each cup of a muffin tin with some of the prepared garlic butter.
  5. Place each dough ball into its own cup in the muffin tin. Cover and let them rise in a warm place until they double in size, about 30-45 minutes.
  6. Once the dough has risen, use a small glass or the bottom of a muddler to push down the center of each dough ball to create a cup shape.
  7. Brush the inside of each dough cup with more garlic butter.
  8. Fill each cup with a spoonful of pizza sauce, followed by a layer of shredded mozzarella cheese, and your choice of toppings such as turkey pepperoni or vegetables.
  9. Add another layer of pizza sauce, more toppings, and a final layer of shredded mozzarella cheese. Make sure to cover the entire surface for a crispy edge. Top with a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese.
  10. Sprinkle Italian seasoning over each filled cup.
  11. Place the muffin tin in the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges of the pizza puffs are golden brown and the cheese is bubbling.
  12. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
