Ingredients

Scale

Crescent Roll Dough:

  • 230 grams refrigerated crescent roll dough

Pizza Sauce:

  • 120 milliliters pizza sauce

Cheese and Seasonings:

  • 110 grams shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 2 grams garlic powder

Toppings:

  • Pepperoni slices
  • Diced ham
  • Cooked sausage, crumbled
  • Chopped bell peppers
  • Chopped onions
  • Sliced mushrooms

Instructions

  1. Prepare Oven and Equipment – Preheat oven to 190°C. Lightly grease 8 standard muffin cups with non-stick cooking spray.
  2. Form Dough Cups – Slice crescent roll dough into 8 even squares. Gently shape and press each square into the prepared muffin cups, ensuring the base and sides are covered.
  3. Assemble Cheese and Sauce Layers – Sprinkle approximately 14 grams of mozzarella cheese into the bottom of each dough-lined cup. Spoon 15 milliliters of pizza sauce over the cheese layer.
  4. Add Remaining Cheese and Toppings – Distribute remaining mozzarella cheese evenly across the cups. Layer with selected toppings such as pepperoni, ham, sausage, peppers, onions, and mushrooms. Evenly dust each cupcake with garlic powder.
  5. Bake and Serve – Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, until the crust is golden and cheese is melted and bubbling. Remove from oven, loosen edges with a small knife, and serve hot.

Notes

  • You can customize the toppings to suit your preferences.
  • Ensure the dough is pressed evenly to create a sturdy cup.
