Crescent Roll Dough
- 1 tube Crescent Roll Dough (can substitute with homemade pizza dough)
Sauce
- 1 cup Marinara Sauce (can substitute with pizza sauce or pesto)
Cheese
- 1 cup Shredded Mozzarella Cheese (other cheeses can be used for varying flavors)
Toppings
- 1 cup Pepperoni (can use assorted veggies for vegetarian option)
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease your muffin tin thoroughly to prevent sticking.
- Prepare Dough: Unroll and separate the crescent roll dough into individual triangles, ready to shape into mini crusts.
- Form Crusts: Press each crescent roll triangle firmly into the greased muffin tin cups, shaping it to cover the sides and bottom evenly, creating a small pizza crust.
- Add Sauce: Spoon about a tablespoon of marinara sauce into each dough cup, spreading slightly but not overfilling.
- Add Cheese: Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese generously over the sauce in each crust.
- Add Toppings: Place pepperoni slices or chosen toppings evenly on top of the cheese for flavor and texture.
- Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 10 to 12 minutes until the crusts are golden brown and cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and let the mini pizzas cool for a few minutes before carefully removing from the tin and serving warm.
Notes

- Customize toppings to your liking, including vegetables for a vegetarian option.
- Greasing the muffin tin well helps in easy removal of the mini pizzas after baking.
- These mini pizzas are perfect party snacks or fun kid-friendly meals.
