pizza cupcakes for dinner!

Can you guess what I’m making in this video? 🤣 Try making them and you’ll see why I’m having so much fun. #shorts

Pizza cupcakes are a fun and easy twist on a classic pizza (and sometimes they come out better!). You know when you’re making personal pizzas at home and sometimes they just don’t come out as beautiful and delicious as you were hoping?

These come out great every time — and have a few extra fun steps the kids will love. Get crazy and add whatever fillings you want. Try experimenting with different sauces! Or, prepare the pizza roll slices and freeze them for easy lunches or dinners that are ready to pop in the oven.

Give them a try and let me know what you think!

Ingredients

🍕 Pizza dough
🍕 2 cups Joe’s tomato sauce
🍕 1 cup shredded Parmesan-Romano mix
🍕 2 cups shredded mozzarella
🍕 1 lb. ground sweet sausage, cooked and browned
🍕 Fresh basil
🍕 Flour, for dusting
🍕 Salt
🍕 Black pepper
🍕 Vito & Joe’s Olive Oil

How to Prepare

1. Preheat the oven to 450°F.
2. Lightly flour the pizza dough to prevent any sticking. Stretch and roll the dough until it is a large rectangle. Drizzle Vito & Joe’s Extra Virgin Olive Oil over the dough and spread evenly, leaving the edges uncovered.
3. Lightly salt and pepper the dough to taste, then spread the dough with 2 cups tomato sauce, still leaving the edges uncovered.
4. Top the dough with 1 lb. ground sausage, 1 cup shredded Parmesan-Romano mix, and 2 cups shredded mozzarella. Tear up fresh basil and place all over the dough.
5. Starting on the short side of the rectangle, roll the dough up into a log. Press the edge to seal the roll.
6. Grease a large muffin tin. Using a sharp knife, carefully cut the pizza roll into slices about as thick as your muffin tin is deep. Place the slices into the muffin tin.
7. Bake at 450°F for 10 - 15 minutes. Remove from ove, let cool, and remove from the muffin tin.
8. Serve with sauce, fresh grated parmesan, and fresh basil. Enjoy!
