If you are tired of pizza in a traditional flat sliced serving, this is something fun to try!
These are super easy using refrigerated pizza dough from the cooler section of your grocery store. If you prefer to use homemade pizza dough, I am sure they will be amazing!
Roll out the dough on a cutting board into a rectangle. Cut the dough into 12 squares.
Place a spoonful of the pizza sauce into the middle of each dough square. Add the cheese, pepperoni (or preferred protein), and any other favorite toppings.
Pinch the dough to seal the balls. Place the pizza pouches seam side down in each muffin pan cup.
Bake for about 15 minutes at 400 degrees or until golden brown.
Brush with garlic butter and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
I recommend serving with a small dish of warmed remaining pizza sauce. This can be used for dipping.
I can’t wait to make it for our grandson with his favorite toppings!
Enjoy!
