Instructions
Creating these delicious mini pizzas is straightforward. Follow these simple steps to enjoy a delightful culinary experience:
Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures that your mini pizzas bake evenly and to perfection. Next, grease a muffin tin with cooking spray or olive oil to prevent the dough from sticking and to promote a golden crust.
Open the crescent roll dough and carefully cut it into 12 equal strips. Press each strip into the muffin tin to form the base of your mini crusts. This will create a cozy little nest for your toppings.
Now, it’s time to add your favorite flavors. Spoon marinara sauce onto each crust, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese generously over the sauce. Feel free to add your desired toppings, such as turkey pepperoni or finely chopped veggies. If you’re feeling creative, use mini cookie cutters to cut the toppings into fun shapes.
Place the prepared muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 15 minutes. The mini pizzas are done when the crusts are golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and melted.
Allow the pizzas to cool for a few minutes before using a spoon to gently pop them out of the muffin tin. These mini deep dish pizzas are perfect as a snack or a meal to share with family and friends.
