How to Make Pepperoni Pizza Puffs
Ingredients you’ll need for this recipe
Step by Step Guide
1. First things first, get your oven preheated to 400°F. While it’s heating up, grease a muffin tin. This is key so the pizza puffs don’t stick!
2. Unroll your pizza dough and cut it into 12 squares (don’t stress if they’re not perfect, just make sure they’re roughly the same size). This part is so simple, even the kiddos can help!
3. Now, pop each dough square into the muffin tin. Gently press down to form little dough cups.
4. Start by adding a bit of mozzarella cheese at the bottom of each dough cup. Next, spoon in a little pizza sauce and sprinkle in some mini pepperoni.
5. Top it all off with a bit more cheese and a sprinkle of garlic powder and Italian seasoning.
6. Pop the muffin tin in the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the dough is golden brown. Your kitchen is about to smell AMAZING!
Once these little pizza puffs are done, let them cool for a minute before popping them out of the muffin tin. They’re best served warm, but trust me, they’ll be devoured in no time. They’re the perfect snack for the kids, and they’re great for sharing with friends and family too!
I love that these are super customizable. You can swap out the pepperoni for other toppings like veggies or sausage, or even use a different kind of cheese. Whatever your family loves, you can make it your own!
So, next time you’re craving pizza but want something fun and easy, give these Pepperoni Pizza Puffs a try! They’re the perfect finger food that everyone will be reaching for.
