Pepperoni Pizza Crazy Puffs Recipe
My pepperoni crazy pizza puffs recipe is so yummy and fulfilling. I absolutely love to dip these into extra pizza sauce once they’re done. Baked in the oven for 15 minutes to a golden perfection; this is My Little Caesars Pepperoni Crazy Puffs - Copycat Recipe.
Ingredients
- 1 Pillsbury Classic Pizza Crust
- 1 Jar Rao’s Homemade Pizza Sauce
- 1 Bag Hormel Pepperoni Cup & Crisp Slices Alternative: Turkey Pepperoni
- 1/2 Stick of Butter
- Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
- Pinch of Minced Garlic Paste
- 1/8 tsp Black Pepper
- 1/4 tsp Oregano
- 1/4 tsp Parsley
- Pinch of Kraft Grated Parmesan Cheese
- Optional: Crush Red Pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F
- Prepare the Garlic Butter: In a small bowl melt half a stick of butter. Add the minced garlic paste, grated Parmesan Cheese, black pepper, oregano, and parsley. Mix everything together and set aside.
- Next, open the Pillsbury pizza crust can and spread the dough out. Cut the pizza crust into smaller squares/pieces. (Note: You should be able to cut the dough into about 9 to 12 pieces.)
- Grease the muffin pan with some of the garlic butter mixture and save the rest for later. Then add the pizza dough into the pan sections and fill the sections out with the dough.
- Fill the pizza puffs: Add the pizza sauce, pepperoni slices, then cheese on top.
- Place the muffin pan in the oven and bake for 15 minutes. Once the cheese is melted and the pepperoni crazy puffs are done, remove from the oven.
- Brush the leftover garlic butter mixture on top of the pizza puffs once they’re out the oven.
- Note: You may have to heat the garlic butter mixture up, it should take 15 to 20 seconds. (optional: you can sprinkle a small pinch of crushed red pepper on top if you like a little spice).
- Serve immediately with extra pizza sauce. Enjoy!
