Meatball Pizza Bowls
Ingredients
- 1 12 cup muffin pan
- cooking spray
- 1 ball 1lb pizza dough store-bought, refrigerated or frozen, room temp
- olive oil
- parmasan cheese
- oregano dried
- pepper
- mozzarella
- marinara sauce
- pepperoni
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F. Turn a 12-cup muffin pan upside down onto a baking sheet so cups are facing down. Coat the tin with nonstick cooking spray. Bring a 1 lb. ball of store-bought refrigerated or frozen pizza dough to room temperature and divide into smaller pieces. Stretch and flatten each piece into disks and press lightly to drape over cup mold (you can also roll them out with a rolling pin). Skip every other cup so the bowls don’t bake into one another in the oven. Brush the dough with olive oil and sprinkle with grated Parmesan, dried oregano, and freshly ground black pepper.
- Transfer to oven and bake until dough is cooked through and tops are golden brown, 10-12 minutes. Remove from oven and heat broiler to high.
- Slide the pizza crust bowls off of the muffin tin and transfer to a foil-lined baking sheet with the cups facing up. Add some shredded mozzarella to the bottom of each cup, then top with a spoonful or two of warm marinara sauce and more cheese. Finish with pepperoni and grated Parmesan. Transfer to oven and broil until sauce and cheese are bubbling and the edges of the bowl are deeply browned 1 to 2 minutes. Enjoy warm.
