🍕🧁 Deep Dish Pizza Cupcakes 🧀🔥

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray or olive oil.

2️⃣ Prepare the Dough

Unroll the crescent dough sheet and cut it into 12 equal squares.

Gently press each square into a muffin cup, pushing the dough up along the sides to create a small crust cup.

3️⃣ Add the Fillings

Into each dough cup add:

1. About 1 teaspoon pizza sauce

2. A small handful of mozzarella cheese

3. Pepperoni or toppings of your choice

4️⃣ Add Seasoning

Sprinkle Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, and a little garlic powder on top for extra flavor.

5️⃣ Bake

Place the muffin tin in the oven and bake for 15–18 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.

6️⃣ Cool & Serve

Let the pizza cupcakes cool for 3–5 minutes before removing them from the muffin tin. Serve warm with extra pizza sauce for dipping.

🍽️ Tips for Perfect Pizza Cupcakes

⭐ Don’t overfill the cups, or the toppings may spill while baking.
⭐ For crispier crusts, prebake the dough cups for 3–4 minutes before adding toppings.
⭐ Try different cheeses like cheddar, provolone, or a pizza blend.
⭐ These are great for kids’ lunches, game nights, or party appetizers.
