Five-Cheese Pizza Cupcakes
Description
These muffin-sized pizza cupcakes with salami and pepperoni have a super cheesy flavor thanks to mozzarella, Cheddar, and a blend of Mexican cheeses.
Ingredients
•
2 tablespoons olive oil, or more as needed
•
1 (13 4/5 ounce) can refrigerated pizza dough (such as Pillsbury®)
•
1 teaspoon garlic salt
•
1 cup tomato sauce
•
1 cup sliced pepperoni
•
1 cup chopped bell pepper
•
1/2 cup chopped red onion
•
1 cup shredded 4-cheese Mexican blend cheese
•
1 cup diced salami
•
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
•
1/4 cup shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
Directions
1
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Use the oil to lightly grease the cups of two 12-cup muffin tins.
2
Take pizza dough and put enough in each cup to cover the bottom and 1/3 to 1/2 up the sides. Sprinkle garlic salt over top, then spoon 1 tablespoon sauce onto each crust.
3
Layer toppings on the sauce: pepperoni, bell pepper, and onion. Add about 1 tablespoon Mexican cheese to each and continue layering toppings: salami, more bell pepper, and more pepperoni. Add a layer of mozzarella cheese and Cheddar cheese. Continue layering toppings until muffin cups are slightly overfull; the toppings should not overflow during cooking, they will settle into the tin.
4
Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool in the tins for 2 minutes before serving.
