- 55mins
- Ingredients:
- 4
- Yields:
-
12-18 rolls
- Serves:
- 6-9
ingredients
- 1 large pizza dough
- 2 cups pizza sauce
- 2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 2 cups other pizza toppings (optional)
directions
- Preheat oven to 375°F.
- Grease 1 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray. (Have another 6-cup muffin tin available. You may have enough dough to make a few more muffins.).
- Pinch off a ball of dough slightly larger than a golf ball and flatten in the palm of your hand. Press into a muffin cup. Continue until all dough is used. The pizza dough will not stay up the sides of the cups, this is okay.
- Put 1-2 tablespoons of sauce into each dough cup. Use the spoon to press downward into the dough to make a cup.
- Add other toppings to each roll. (Hold off adding the cheese for now).
- Bake muffins for 15 minutes before adding cheese.
- Sprinkle 1-2 tablespoons of cheese on top of sauce and any other toppings.
- Bake for 10 minutes more. Lift one roll out of cup gently to check bottom to make sure it is baked through the bottom.

Great and easy recipe!! I remember my mom making us mini pizza 'muffins' like this when I was little- I think she got it from a magazine. It used refrigerator biscuits and was very similar. For these I used garlic sprinkle on the dough and topped them with Parmesan cheese for flair. It would be easy to make these in a pinch with crescent roll dough to make it faster. Thanks for the trip down memory lane! :-)

Made these for Freezer Tag 2008. My dough recipe made 17 muffins. I made recipe #133906 for the sauce. for toppings, I used some sausage and chopped olives that I had on hand. Next time, I will try some with chopped pepperoni (for the kids), and some with mushrooms (for me). These turned out very well. I admit that I cooked them a bit longer than I would have liked (I should have checked them at 20 minutes, but I thought that my dough might be a little thicker than suggested, so I let them cook for 25 minutes). I ate 3 right out of the oven. The remaining muffins I cooled, then froze in a ziplock bag until ready to serve. To reheat, I placed 8 muffins on a plate, and put them in the microwave on defrost for 2 minutes. Then I heated on high for an additional 2 minutes. The kids enjoyed these with additional pizza sauce for dipping. Thanks for posting! I will be making more of these to have on hand in the freezer for quick snacks, lunches or dinners!

I live in a small city in southwest Virginia. We have been here for 22 years and love being near the mountains. I have three kids that keep me busy 24/7. I love cooking for my husband, but am constantly battling the picky eating kids at mealtime. I originally joined when this site was called recipeZaar to put my recipes into meal menus to rotate on a regular basis. Hopefully, to take the brainwork out of food shopping, menu planning and preparation. The problem is that I have found so many new recipes I want to try here I am going to end up with 100 menus! I guess that isn't so bad, variety is a good thing.
