Mini Deep Dish Pizzas
"These use whole wheat sandwich wraps for the crust. I know this isn’t exactly a ‘traditional’ deep dish pizza, as the cheese and pepperoni are on top of the sauce, but I decided to give these little pizzas a ‘deep dish’ name because of the enormous amount of sauce and cheese packed into these little guys! The crust for these hand-held pizzas are made from whole wheat wraps, which bake up nice and crispy, so they taste a lot like a thin crust! I added parmesan cheese and spices to the sauce, so every bite is bursting with cheesy flavor! You could add any toppings you’d traditionally have on your pizza to make them even more personalized!"
- Ready In:
- 30mins
- Ingredients:
- 9
- Yields:
-
12 Mini Pizzas
- Serves:
- 12
ingredients
- 3 -4 whole wheat sandwich wraps
- 1 (15 ounce) can pizza sauce
- 3⁄4 cup light mozzarella cheese (shredded)
- 1⁄4 cup parmesan cheese
- 12 slices turkey pepperoni, each cut into 4 even pieces (or 48 mini turkey pepperonis)
- 1 teaspoon basil (or oregano OR Italian seasoning)
- 1⁄2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 pinch artificial sweetener (sugar or stevia or splenda)
- 1 pinch black pepper
directions
- 1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Spray a 12 count muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray.
- 2. Start by laying each tortilla out individually on a flat surface, and use an empty can, cup, or cookie cutter to cut 3-4 medium circles out of each wrap. I used the empty pizza sauce can, which worked well! Press firmly enough, using a rocking motion, until it cuts through the wrap.
- 3. Press each wrap circle into muffin tin using your fingers. Note: it doesn’t have to cover the entire side of the tin, it should just fit snuggly!
- 4. Meanwhile, pour pizza sauce into a medium sized bowl; Add in the Parmesan cheese and the spices. Stir until everything is well combined.
- 5. Drop about 1-2 tbs of sauce in each wrap, this really varies according to how much sauce you like!
- 6. Divide mozzarella cheese evenly over each mini pizza.
- 7. Place 4 mini pepperoni’s on top of each pizza.
- 8. Bake in preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until cheese is melted and lightly browned.
- 9. Wait for pizzas to cool, and remove from muffin tin using a fork or knife. Pizza’s should pop out with ease!
- Serve warm and enjoy!

<p>I'm just a good ol country girl that loves to create! I call it creating...not cooking. I got this love from my mother (Love you!) and Granny (Miss you somethin aweful-RIP). <br /> <br />I'm a homemaker and I've started my own buisness. I have two wonderful children and three of the most beautiful, loving, sweetest grand children in the world! (I lovingly refer to all of us as the Family Circus) My children have inherited my love of cooking; they've been helping me since they could stand in a chair in the kitchen! My grand children are learning this love as well! <br /> <br />Then theres lots of people that have adopted me...lol. Many because they love my cooking. The others...well I haven't figured out yet why, but they always seem to show up just before dinner is being served. Cook'em some good ol southern soul food and they just might ask if they can move in!<br /> <br />I'm always looking for new recipes and I follow the directions (the first time anyways). Then if we like it, I'll modify it and make it my own. <br /> <br /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/IWasAdoptedfall08.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket /></p>
