Instructions
-
Preheat oven:
Set to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray. -
Prepare dough cups:
Unroll crescent dough and separate into triangles.
Press each triangle into a muffin cup, gently shaping it to form a small crust up the sides. -
Add sauce:
Spoon about 1 to 2 teaspoons of pizza sauce into each dough cup — don’t overfill. -
Add toppings:
Sprinkle a little mozzarella cheese, then place a pepperoni slice (or chosen topping) on top.
Add a pinch of Parmesan and Italian seasoning if desired. -
Bake:
Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and cheese is bubbly. -
Cool slightly & serve:
Let rest for 2–3 minutes, then gently lift out with a fork or spoon.
Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes
-
Sprinkle a little cheese under the sauce for a crispier crust.
