Ingredients
Dough and Sauce
- 1 tube 8 ounces of crescent roll dough Make sure it's Halal.
- 1 cup pizza sauce Store-bought or homemade
Cheese and Toppings
- 1.5 cups shredded mozzarella cheese More can be added on top for extra gooeyness.
- 0.5 cup sliced bell peppers Any color is fine.
- 0.5 cup sliced mushrooms
- 0.5 cup cooked ground chicken or turkey Or substitute with your choice of vegetables.
- 0.25 cup sliced olives Optional
- 1 tea_spoon Italian seasoning
Other
- 1 spray Cooking spray For greasing the muffin tin.
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- On a clean, flat surface, unroll the crescent roll dough. Do not separate the triangles; instead, press the seams together to form a single sheet.
- Lightly spray a muffin tin with cooking spray.
- Cut the dough into squares (approximately 3x3 inches). Gently press each square into the muffin tin, pushing up the sides to form a pocket for your filling.
Assembly
- Spoon about a tablespoon of pizza sauce into each dough pocket.
- Follow with a sprinkle of mozzarella cheese, your choice of bell peppers, mushrooms, cooked ground chicken or turkey, olives, and a dash of Italian seasoning.
- Finish piling on a little more mozzarella cheese atop each filled pocket for that extra gooey finish.
Baking
- Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 15-18 minutes or until the crust is golden and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Once done, remove the muffin tin from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.
- Carefully lift the mini pizzas out and enjoy them warm!
Notes
For perfecting the pizza, consider substitutions like vegan cheese or different fillings. For a crisper crust, bake a few extra minutes but avoid overbaking. To prevent soggy bottoms, press down dough fully against the muffin tin.
