Ingredients

Scale

Crust

  • 1 can crescent roll dough

Toppings

  • ½ cup marinara sauce
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ½ cup pepperoni slices (or your favorite protein)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it’s hot enough for baking the pizzas evenly.
  2. Prepare the Dough: Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into individual triangles carefully without tearing the dough.
  3. Form the Crust: Press each crescent dough triangle into the cups of a muffin tin, shaping each into a small deep-dish crust that covers the bottom and sides.
  4. Add Sauce: Spoon about one tablespoon of marinara sauce into the center of each dough crust, spreading slightly but leaving space for toppings.
  5. Sprinkle Cheese: Generously sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the marinara sauce in each crust to create a gooey, melty layer.
  6. Add Pepperoni: Top the cheese with pepperoni slices or your preferred protein to add flavor and texture.
  7. Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and cooked through.
  8. Cool and Serve: Let the mini pizzas cool for a few minutes in the pan before removing and serving to avoid burns and help the cheese set slightly.

Notes

  • You can customize toppings with vegetables, different meats, or extra cheese to suit your taste.
  • Use a non-stick or well-greased muffin tin to easily remove pizzas after baking.
  • For a crispier crust, bake a couple of minutes longer but watch closely to prevent burning.
  • These mini deep dish pizzas are perfect for parties, kids’ snacks, or a quick dinner.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator and reheat in the oven or microwave.
