| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Crescent roll dough | 1 can (8 oz) |
| Pizza sauce | ½ cup |
| Shredded mozzarella cheese | 1 cup |
| Mini pepperoni or cooked sausage | ¼ cup |
| Italian seasoning | ½ tsp |
| Garlic powder | ¼ tsp |
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Preheat & Prepare
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin to prevent sticking and ensure an easy release of the mini pizzas after baking.
Step 2: Prepare the Crescent Dough
Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into triangles. Press each triangle into a muffin cup, gently pressing to form a small crust-like base that comes up the sides of each cup. Make sure the dough covers the bottom and a bit of the sides to hold the toppings properly.
Step 3: Add the Pizza Sauce
Spoon about 1-2 teaspoons of pizza sauce into each dough-lined muffin cup. Spread the sauce evenly to create a flavorful base for the toppings.
Step 4: Top with Cheese & Toppings
Generously sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce. Then, add mini pepperoni or cooked sausage for that extra burst of flavor. Finally, sprinkle Italian seasoning and garlic powder over the top to enhance the classic pizza taste.
Step 5: Bake to Perfection
Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Step 6: Cool & Serve
Remove the muffin tin from the oven and let the mini pizzas cool for a couple of minutes. Carefully use a spoon or knife to lift them out of the muffin tin. Serve warm and enjoy!
