Mini Deep Dish Pizza Bites

Prep: 25 minincludes dough resting time
Cook: 16–20 min
Total: 40–45 min
Serves: 2 to 4 (makes 8 to 10 mini pizza bites)

Ingredients

2 Store-bought pizza dough (room temp)
Olive oil cooking spray
¾ cup Pizza sauce or marinara
2 cups Shredded mozzarella
½ cup Mini pepperonis
½ cup Pineapple chunks
1 Jalapeño, thinly sliced
Fresh basil
3 tbsp Grated parmesan

Instructions

Step 1Preheat oven to 425°F and let the dough sit at room temp for 20 minutes. Cut the doughs into 8 to 10 equal pieces (I recommend 8 for thicker, fluffier pizzas or 10 for a thinner, more snacky bites)
Step 2Grease a mini loaf pan (don’t skip, this is how you get those crispy edges). Spray the top or grease your hands, then press each piece of dough into the pan, covering the bottom
Step 3Add a light layer of sauce, then load it up with mozzarella, pepperoni, pineapple, and jalapeños (don’t be shy, add plenty because it cooks down and you want every bite covered)
Step 4Bake for 16 to 20 minutes, until golden, bubbly, and crispy on the edges
Step 5Remove from the pan and finish with fresh basil and grated parmesan
