DEEP DISH MINI PIZZAS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375F.
• Spray a muffin tin with cooking spray.
• Lay the crescent roll dough on a cookie sheet and cut out 12 circles (for the mini pizzas shown in the photos) or 12 squares (if you want larger pizza muffins).
• Place the dough at the bottom of each muffin cup. If you cut them into squares, overlap the corners so the top edge is even.
• Add a layer of cheese, a spoon of pizza sauce to cover the cheese, another layer of cheese and your favourite toppings.
• Bake at 375F for 15 minutes until the cheese starts to bubble and the crust is golden brown.
• Let them sit for 5 minutes before pulling the mini pizzas out of the muffin tin.
• Enjoy!

MINI DEEP-DISH PIZZAS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Spray the cavities of a mini muffin pan with cooking spray.
• Remove the pizza dough from the packaging and allow it to come to room temperature on a floured surface.
• Using a rolling pin or your hands, roll it out into a VERY thin layer. Using either a small round cookie cutter (about 2 inches) or an empty 4.5-ounce can, cut it into rounds.
• Using your fingers, stretch the dough without tearing and press into the prepared muffin cups.
• Next, assemble the pizzas. Spoon about 2 teaspoons of the crushed tomatoes into each cup. Sprinkle with a little Italian seasoning and top with about 1 tablespoon of mozzarella. Top with the mushrooms, sausage and pepperoni or whatever toppings you prefer.
• Bake until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melty and bubbly, 15 to 20 minutes.

MINI DEEP-DISH PIZZAS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Lightly brush 6 standard muffin cups with oil. On a lightly floured work surface, roll out each dough piece to a 6-inch round. Fill each cup with 1 round, gently pressing dough into bottom and sides of cup. Season with salt and pepper.
• Sprinkle each dough cup with 1 tablespoon each cheese and tomato. Add desired toppings and another tablespoon each cheese and tomato. Bake until dough is golden brown and crisp, 12 minutes. Let cool 2 minutes before removing from cups.

DEEP-DISH PIZZAS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Brush bottom and sides of two 13-by-9-inch metal baking pans with oil. On a lightly floured work surface, stretch each ball of dough into a 10-by-14-inch oval (if dough isn't holding its shape, let rest a few minutes).
• Transfer each oval to a prepared pan, pressing to fit into corners, and one inch up sides to form a rim. Dividing evenly, spread sauce over each oval of dough.
• Using 3 cups of cheese per pizza, spread three layers each of cheese and topping, ending with topping (layering with cheese helps to hold each pizza together). Season with salt and pepper. (If making ahead, cover and refrigerate, up to 1 day.)
• Bake pizzas side by side until cheese and crusts are golden brown, 30 to 40 minutes, rotating once (if refrigerated, add 10 minutes). Let rest in pans 10 minutes. To serve, use two wide spatulas to transfer pizzas to cutting boards.

MUFFIN TIN DEEP DISH PIZZAS RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
• Make the roasted garlic butter: Drizzle the halved head of garlic with the olive oil and wrap tightly in aluminum foil.
• Transfer to the oven to bake for 40-50 minutes, or until the garlic cloves are golden and tender. Set aside to cool completely. Squeeze the garlic cloves into a bowl and mash into a paste using a fork. Add the melted butter and stir to combine. Keep in a warm place until ready to use. If the garlic butter solidifies, microwave for 15-20 seconds before using.
• Make the deep dish pizzas: Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin pan with nonstick spray.
• On a lightly floured surface, unroll the pizza dough and roll out slightly. Cut the dough lengthwise into quarters and crosswise into thirds so you have 12 squares total.
• Gently shape each piece of dough into a circle, then place into a prepared muffin cup, pressing the dough flush against the bottom and sides. Brush each dough cup with the roasted garlic butter.
• To 4 of the dough cups, add 1 tablespoon shredded mozzarella and 2 slices of pepperoni. Top with 1 tablespoon pizza sauce and a sprinkle of grated Parmesan to create mini Chicago-style deep dish pizzas.
• To another 4 dough cups, add 1 tablespoon pizza sauce, 1 tablespoon Italian sausage, ½ tablespoon diced green pepper, and ½ tablespoon diced onion. Finish with 1 tablespoon of shredded mozzarella to create mini Italian sausage and pepper deep dish pizzas.
• To the remaining 4 dough cups, add 4 cherry tomato halves and 1 tablespoon shredded mozzarella to each to create mini caprese deep dish pizzas.
• Transfer the pizzas to the oven to bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and the cheese is melted. Let cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a serving platter. Drizzle the caprese pizzas with balsamic glaze and garnish with the basil.
• Serve warm.
• Enjoy!
