Pizza Muffins With Veggies Food

PIZZA MUFFINS (WITH VEGGIES!)

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F and grease a standard muffin tin well with nonstick spray.
• Add the milk, carrot, cheeses, butter, pepperoni (reserving the 2 tablespoons), and egg to a medium bowl. Stir together.
• Stir in the flours, baking powder, baking soda, pizza seasoning, and salt.
• Divide batter among the prepared muffin tin, using about 1/4 cup in each. Top each with pepperoni.
• Bake for 18-20 minutes or until lightly golden brown around the edges and a cake tester inserted into the center comes out cleanly. (There may be some melted cheese on it though!)
• Let cool in the pan for 2-5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. You may need to use a paring knife around the edges of the muffins to help remove them from the pan.
• Serve slightly warm.

PIZZA MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 12-cup muffin pan with unbleached parchment liners or reusable silicone liners.
• Whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and oregano in a medium bowl to combine.
• In a large bowl, beat the eggs, olive oil, buttermilk, maple syrup, and 1 cup of the marinara sauce, and stir. Add the mozzarella and stir to combine. Slowly stir in the dry mixture until just combined. Do not overbeat.
• Using a large ice-cream scoop, divide the batter evenly between each muffin cup. Use the remaining 1/4 cup marinara sauce to top each muffin with 1 teaspoon of sauce, then sprinkle with pecorino.
• Bake for 20 to 22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean. Allow to cool for 10 minutes in the pan and then transfer to a wire rack to completely cool.

CHICAGO DEEP-DISH PIZZA MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Generously grease a 12-cup standard muffin pan with 2 teaspoons oil.
• Roll dough on a lightly floured surface to a thickness of 1/8 inch. Pick it up from the edges to make sure it's not stuck to the surface, then cut out twelve 4-inch circles. Reroll the dough to cut all 12 circles if necessary.
• Place each circle into a prepared muffin cup, making sure it's centered. Press and push dough up the sides of the cups, getting close to, but not all the way up to the top. When all circles have been placed in the muffin pan, go around one more time to push and press on each one.
• Put 1 tablespoon provolone cheese into each cup, followed by 1 tablespoon cooked sausage and 2 teaspoons cooked peppers. Lightly press on the fillings to compress, then top with 1 rounded tablespoon mozzarella cheese and 2 tablespoons pizza sauce, pushing the sauce down gently into the fillings; it's okay that the fillings will be slightly higher than the pan. Sprinkle Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese generously over top.
• Bake in the upper center of the preheated oven until the tops are beautifully browned, 30 to 35 minutes.
• Remove from the oven and cool in the pan for 10 to 15 minutes. Go around the edge of each muffin with a knife, then use a fork or small spatula to remove from the pan.
• Let cool on a rack for a few minutes, then garnish with parsley and serve.
