Chicago Deep-Dish Pizza Muffins image

Put down the fork and knife... here's a Chicago deep-dish pizza that you can actually eat by holding it in your hands! A beautiful golden crust contains a meaty, cheesy, saucy filling with Italian sausage, sweet peppers, and 3 types of cheese. The sauce and cheese char slightly on the outside as they bake, resulting in a super savory taste.

Time 1h20m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 teaspoons olive oil
1 (16 ounce) package cold, prepared pizza dough
4 ounces provolone cheese, diced
¾ cup cooked, crumbled Italian sausage
½ cup cooked, diced sweet peppers
4 ounces mozzarella cheese, grated
½ cup prepared pizza sauce
¾ cup freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Generously grease a 12-cup standard muffin pan with 2 teaspoons oil.
  • Roll dough on a lightly floured surface to a thickness of 1/8 inch. Pick it up from the edges to make sure it's not stuck to the surface, then cut out twelve 4-inch circles. Reroll the dough to cut all 12 circles if necessary.
  • Place each circle into a prepared muffin cup, making sure it's centered. Press and push dough up the sides of the cups, getting close to, but not all the way up to the top. When all circles have been placed in the muffin pan, go around one more time to push and press on each one.
  • Put 1 tablespoon provolone cheese into each cup, followed by 1 tablespoon cooked sausage and 2 teaspoons cooked peppers. Lightly press on the fillings to compress, then top with 1 rounded tablespoon mozzarella cheese and 2 tablespoons pizza sauce, pushing the sauce down gently into the fillings; it's okay that the fillings will be slightly higher than the pan. Sprinkle Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese generously over top.
  • Bake in the upper center of the preheated oven until the tops are beautifully browned, 30 to 35 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven and cool in the pan for 10 to 15 minutes. Go around the edge of each muffin with a knife, then use a fork or small spatula to remove from the pan.
  • Let cool on a rack for a few minutes, then garnish with parsley and serve.

MUFFIN PAN PIZZA ROLLS



Muffin Pan Pizza Rolls image

I have come up with a homemade version of the pizza rolls at a local pizza restaurant. They can be filled with what ever toppings you enjoy. I used recipe #35805 in my bread machine and recipe #22280 with great results my kids loved. ***Update: Having made this recipe several more times, I have found that I get better results baking the muffins with the sauce for 10 to15 minutes before adding the cheese. This eliminates the having to cover with foil to keep the cheese from over browning. I have changed the recipe below.

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 55m

Yield 12-18 rolls, 6-9 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 large pizza dough
2 cups pizza sauce
2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
2 cups other pizza toppings (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375°F.
  • Grease 1 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray. (Have another 6-cup muffin tin available. You may have enough dough to make a few more muffins.).
  • Pinch off a ball of dough slightly larger than a golf ball and flatten in the palm of your hand. Press into a muffin cup. Continue until all dough is used. The pizza dough will not stay up the sides of the cups, this is okay.
  • Put 1-2 tablespoons of sauce into each dough cup. Use the spoon to press downward into the dough to make a cup.
  • Add other toppings to each roll. (Hold off adding the cheese for now).
  • Bake muffins for 15 minutes before adding cheese.
  • Sprinkle 1-2 tablespoons of cheese on top of sauce and any other toppings.
  • Bake for 10 minutes more. Lift one roll out of cup gently to check bottom to make sure it is baked through the bottom.

Tips:

  • For a crispier crust, brush the muffin cups with melted butter before adding the dough.
  • If you don't have pizza sauce, you can use tomato sauce or even ketchup.
  • Feel free to get creative with your toppings. Some popular options include pepperoni, sausage, bacon, bell peppers, onions, and mushrooms.
  • If you like your pizza rolls extra cheesy, you can add a sprinkle of mozzarella cheese to the top before baking.
  • Be careful not to overfill the muffin cups, or the pizza rolls will be difficult to remove.
  • Let the pizza rolls cool for a few minutes before eating, so that the cheese has a chance to set.

Conclusion:

Muffin pan pizza rolls are a quick and easy snack or meal that the whole family will love. They're perfect for parties, potlucks, or a fun lunch. With endless topping possibilities, you can customize them to your liking. So next time you're looking for a fun and delicious treat, give muffin pan pizza rolls a try!
