Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 35m

Yield 36-48 mini muffins

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup fine yellow cornmeal
1 tablespoon sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 1/4 cups milk
1/4 cup oil
1/2 cup pizza sauce or 1/2 cup marinara sauce
1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese
1/3 cup cooked sausage or 1/3 cup vegetables

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 400ºF and line 36 mini muffin cups with paper liners or grease a mini muffin pan.
  • Sift the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, and salt into a large mixing bowl.
  • In a separate bowl, blend the egg, milk, and oil. Make a well in the center of the dry mixture and add the liquid. Stir just until combined.
  • In a small bowl combine pizza sauce and parmesan.
  • Spoon the muffin batter into the muffin cups evenly, filling them about 1/2-3/4 full. Spoon about 1 tsp of sauce mixture on top of each one mixing slightly. Then sprinkle with chopped pepperoni or other desired finely chopped pizza toppings. Shredded mozzarella does better if you wait until they are almost done baking and just let it melt over.
  • Bake the muffins for 15 minutes, until they puff and brown at the edges. Cool in the pan for several minutes then serve.

Categories     Lunch

Time 1h45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 small head garlic, halved crosswise
2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
nonstick cooking spray
all purpose flour, for dusting
1 tube pizza dough
¾ cup shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
8 slices pepperoni
½ cup pizza sauce, divided
1 tablespoon grated parmesan cheese
¼ lb ground italian sausage, cooked
2 tablespoons green bell pepper, finely diced
2 tablespoons yellow onion, finely diced
8 cherry tomatoes, cut in half
store bought balsamic glaze, for garnish
1 tablespoon fresh basil, sliced, for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • Make the roasted garlic butter: Drizzle the halved head of garlic with the olive oil and wrap tightly in aluminum foil.
  • Transfer to the oven to bake for 40-50 minutes, or until the garlic cloves are golden and tender. Set aside to cool completely. Squeeze the garlic cloves into a bowl and mash into a paste using a fork. Add the melted butter and stir to combine. Keep in a warm place until ready to use. If the garlic butter solidifies, microwave for 15-20 seconds before using.
  • Make the deep dish pizzas: Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin pan with nonstick spray.
  • On a lightly floured surface, unroll the pizza dough and roll out slightly. Cut the dough lengthwise into quarters and crosswise into thirds so you have 12 squares total.
  • Gently shape each piece of dough into a circle, then place into a prepared muffin cup, pressing the dough flush against the bottom and sides. Brush each dough cup with the roasted garlic butter.
  • To 4 of the dough cups, add 1 tablespoon shredded mozzarella and 2 slices of pepperoni. Top with 1 tablespoon pizza sauce and a sprinkle of grated Parmesan to create mini Chicago-style deep dish pizzas.
  • To another 4 dough cups, add 1 tablespoon pizza sauce, 1 tablespoon Italian sausage, ½ tablespoon diced green pepper, and ½ tablespoon diced onion. Finish with 1 tablespoon of shredded mozzarella to create mini Italian sausage and pepper deep dish pizzas.
  • To the remaining 4 dough cups, add 4 cherry tomato halves and 1 tablespoon shredded mozzarella to each to create mini caprese deep dish pizzas.
  • Transfer the pizzas to the oven to bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and the cheese is melted. Let cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a serving platter. Drizzle the caprese pizzas with balsamic glaze and garnish with the basil.
  • Serve warm.
  • Enjoy!

Number Of Ingredients 0

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 220C/Fan200C/Gas 6.
  • Mix all Dry Ingredients togeather in a big bowl:
  • Flour, Baking Powder & Salt.
  • Mix all Wet Ingredients togeather in bowl/jug (I prefer using a jug, as easier for pouring later on): Veg Oil, Milk & Eggs
  • In a separate bowl mix all Pizza ingredients: Pizza Topping, Grated Cheese, Dried Oregano, Black Pepper & Fresh Basil.
  • Then roughly mix the Wet & Pizza Ingredients in with the Dry Ingredients. Do not over mix the Ingredients. Muffin mix is suppose to be lumpy & goopy & it should fall off the spoon in globs.
  • Once mixed spoon into muffin cases, fill fairly high up the cases but do make sure you have enough Muffin Mix for 12. Bake for 20mins on top shelf.
  • Remove from oven after 20mins & start placing the toppings on. Spread some Pizza topping on the muffin, then place a slice of tomato on top & finish with a small cube of cheese. Repeat for all 12 muffins & return to the oven for 5 mins/until cheese has melted.
  • Once cooked, leave in tray for 5mins to cool then transfer to a cooling rack for 10/15mins. I prefer to serve mine while still warm but can be served at room temp.
