Ingredients
  

  • 13.8 oz. can of pizza dough
  • ½ c. butter melted
  • 1 tbsp. minced garlic
  • 2 tbsp. Italian seasoning
  • 4 tbsp. Parmesan cheese
  • 1 c. shredded mozzarella
  • 9 pepperoni slices
  • ½ c. pizza sauce

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F.
  • In a large bowl, combine the melted butter, garlic, Italian seasoning, and Parmesan cheese. Brush the mixture into 9 cups of a muffin pan, reserving the remaining garlic butter.
  • Divide the dough into 9 equal, golf ball-sized pieces. Roll into balls and place one in each muffin cup. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place for about 30 minutes, or until slightly puffy.
  • Lightly coat your hands with cooking spray and press a deep well into the center of each dough ball. Brush a little of the reserved garlic butter inside each well.
  • Place a pepperoni slice in each well, add a spoonful of pizza sauce, and top with shredded mozzarella.
  • Bake for 13–15 minutes, or until golden brown. Brush the tops with the remaining garlic butter and sprinkle with additional Italian seasoning before serving.

Notes

  • Brush generously with garlic butter for the best flavor.
  • Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a little heat.
  • Pile on the mozzarella for an extra cheesy center.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
