Muffin Tin Pizza Recipe

Last night, I had guests over for homemade pizza. I had some leftover pizza dough, cheese and toppings, so I decided to experiment with something new: individual-sized pizzas made in a muffin tin.

They are super cute – I’m not going to lie. Almost like little pizza cups or pizza muffins.

I liked these so much that I decided to try making these in a mini muffin pan!

The Cost

These mini-pizzas are really cheap, allowing you to use up extra ingredients you already have on hand. I bought Trader Joe’s fresh pizza dough (a steal at $1.29 a bag), which was enough for one medium pizza last night, and a six or so of these.

Another great thing about these pizzas is the option to customize each pizza. It seems impossible to get several people to agree on one type of pizza – whether you’re at home or at a restaurant. With these pizzas, you can please everyone. Enjoy!

Roll out dough to make a five-inch circle. Place in greased muffin tin, fill with toppings, and bake.

Muffin tin pizza recipe

Cook Time: 15 to 20 minutes

Get creative with your sauce, toppings and cheese. These pizzas are highly adaptable.

Ingredients:

Fresh pizza dough
Pizza sauce (about one tablespoon per pizza)
Desired toppings (about 1/6 cup of toppings per pizza)
Cheese (about one tablespoon per pizza)
Olive oil (to coat muffin tins with)

Directions:

Preheat oven to 400F. Take a golf-ball sized portion of pizza dough. On a floured surface, roll out until the dough is about five inches across. Repeat.
Place pizza dough rounds into a muffin tin coated with olive oil. It's okay if the dough extends above the top of the muffin tin. Put pizza sauce in the bottom of the cup. Fill with toppings and top with cheese. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until tops are golden brown.
