4.6 from 59 reviews

Delicious mini crescent roll pizzas made by layering marinara sauce, mozzarella cheese, and pepperoni on crescent roll dough baked to golden perfection in a muffin tin. Perfect for quick snacks or party appetizers with customizable toppings.

Ingredients

Scale

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)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease your muffin tin thoroughly to prevent sticking.
  2. Prepare Dough: Unroll and separate the crescent roll dough into individual triangles, ready to shape into mini crusts.
  3. 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.
  4. Add Sauce: Spoon about a tablespoon of marinara sauce into each dough cup, spreading slightly but not overfilling.
  5. Add Cheese: Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese generously over the sauce in each crust.
  6. Add Toppings: Place pepperoni slices or chosen toppings evenly on top of the cheese for flavor and texture.
  7. 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.
  8. 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

  • You can substitute crescent roll dough with homemade or store-bought pizza dough for a different texture.

  • Use any cheese types you prefer such as cheddar, provolone, or a cheese blend.
  • 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.
