Ingredients
1 (13.8 oz) pizza crust (such as Pillsbury)
1/3 c unsalted butter, melted
1 tbsp finely chopped fresh parsley
2 tsp dried Italian seasoning
2 tsp garlic salt
1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 c jarred pizza sauce
1 1/2 c pepperoni slices
4 c pre-shredded farmer-style mozzarella cheese
1/4 c freshly grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
Preheat and Prepare: Heat your oven to 375°F (180°C). Place a baking sheet on the bottom rack to catch any drips. Spray a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray.
Prepare the Dough: Unroll the pizza crust dough over the prepared muffin tin. Use a pizza cutter. Slice the dough into squares. That fit each muffin cup. Press the dough into the tins. Ensuring it extends halfway up the sides.
Make the Butter Mixture: In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, parsley, Italian seasoning, garlic salt, and black pepper. Stir until mixed.
Assemble the Puffs: Brush the inside of each dough cup with the butter mixture. Add a teaspoon of pizza sauce to each. Then layer on two slices of pepperoni, a tablespoon of mozzarella, and more pepperoni. Top with another two tablespoons of mozzarella. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese on top.
Bake: Place the muffin tin in the oven. Bake for about 15 minutes. Or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Switch the oven to broil. And broil the puffs for 1 minute. To get them golden brown on top.
Cool and Serve: Let the puffs cool in the tin for 2 minutes. To set before serving.
