Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Pizza dough
- 1 cup Marinara sauce
- 2 cups Mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 cup Pepperoni slices
- 0.5 cup Italian sausage, cooked and crumbled
- 0.25 cup Bell peppers, diced
- 0.25 cup Black olives, sliced
- 1 tsp Dried oregano
- 1 tsp Dried basil
- 0.5 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 as needed Non-stick cooking spray
- 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a standard 12-cup muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray.
Roll out the pizza dough to about 1/8-inch thickness on a floured surface. Cut the dough into 12 equal circles, about 3 inches in diameter, using a cookie cutter or the edge of a glass.
Press each circle of dough into a muffin cup, ensuring the dough comes up the sides to create a small cup. Set aside.
In a mixing bowl, combine the marinara sauce, dried oregano, dried basil, and garlic powder. Stir until well blended.
Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the marinara sauce mixture into each dough cup.
Add your desired toppings to each cup: a mix of mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, pepperoni slices, crumbled Italian sausage, diced bell peppers, and sliced black olives. Be creative and customize each cup to your liking.
Top each scoop with a little more mozzarella cheese for a gooey finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let the 'Pizza by the Scoop' cups cool for about 5 minutes in the tin before carefully removing them with a spoon or small spatula.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired, and serve warm. Enjoy!
