Ingredients
Dough
- 1 roll of pizza dough
Toppings
- 1 cup marinara sauce
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup diced bell peppers
- 1/2 cup sliced mushrooms
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 375°F. Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface and cut into small circles to fit into a muffin tin.
- Dice the bell peppers and slice the mushrooms into small, uniform pieces. This ensures even cooking and a balanced flavor in each bite.
Assembling
- Place the dough circles into the muffin tin, pressing gently to form cups. Spoon a small amount of marinara sauce into each cup, followed by the vegetables and cheese. Sprinkle with Italian seasoning.
Baking
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the edges of the dough are golden brown. Allow them to cool slightly before serving.
Serving
- Serve the pizza cups warm, accompanied by your favorite dipping sauces such as garlic aioli or pesto for added flavor.
Storage
- Store any leftover pizza cups in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave before serving.
