Pizza Cupcakes Recipe

Ingredients:

• Cooking spray - aerosol cooking oil
• 8 medium Roma tomatoes
• 1 (11-ounce) package refrigerated pizza crust
• 8 teaspoons shredded mozzarella cheese
• 8 tablespoons pizza sauce
• 8 teaspoons finely chopped red onions
• 8 teaspoons shredded mozzarella cheese
• 8 slices pepperoni, quartered
• 1/4 teaspoon Italian seasoning, or to taste
• 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, or to taste
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic salt, or to taste
  

Instructions:

1. Prepare the ingredients. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Spray cooking oil into 8 cavities of a specialized cupcake baking tray.
   
2. Dice the Roma tomatoes and drain excess water; set aside.
   
3. Lay out the pizza crust on a floured surface and roll it thin into a large rectangle. Use a cutter to divide into mini pizza crusts, about 4 inches in size.
   
4. Place the mini pizzas into the prepared cavities, pressing the dough into the bottom and around the edges of each cavity.
   
5. Add 1 teaspoon of shredded mozzarella cheese into each cavity. Next, top each with 1 tablespoon of pizza sauce, followed by diced tomatoes and chopped red onions.
   
6. Add another tablespoon of shredded mozzarella cheese on top and place quartered pepperoni on each. Sprinkle with Italian seasoning, crushed red pepper flakes, and garlic salt.
   
7. Bake in the preheated oven until the cheese is melted and bubbly, about 14 to 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and let the cupcakes rest in the tray for about 5 minutes.
   
8. Remove the pizzas from the tray and enjoy while still warm.
