# How to Make It:
01 -
Preheat oven to 400°F (204°C). Coat a standard 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray to ensure easy release.
02 -
Unroll refrigerated pizza crust and cut into 12 even squares. Press each square snugly into the muffin cups, forming a base and sides for each cupcake.
03 -
Spoon 1 tablespoon of pizza sauce onto the bottom of each dough cup. Add a layer of chopped red onion, then a portion of halved cherry tomatoes.
04 -
Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese generously over each cup, then top with quartered pepperoni slices. Finish with a little more cheese if desired.
05 -
Lightly dust each cupcake with Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes, and garlic salt.
06 -
Place the muffin tin in the oven and bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and cheese has melted.
07 -
Remove the pizza cupcakes from the oven and let cool in the tin for 5 minutes. Use a spatula to lift each cupcake from the tin before serving warm.
# Extra Tips:
01 -
For an extra crisp crust, briefly pre-bake the dough cups for 3 minutes before adding the fillings.
