Step-by-Step Instructions for Pizza Cupcakes

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and coat a muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray or olive oil.
Roll out your pizza dough to about ¼-inch thickness and cut out 12 circles.
Press each dough circle into the muffin cups, forming little 'cups'.
Spoon a generous amount of marinara sauce into each cup, filling them halfway.
Add shredded mozzarella cheese and your favorite toppings over the sauce.
Sprinkle Italian seasoning and grated Parmesan cheese over each filled cup.
Bake for 12–15 minutes until golden brown and cheese is bubbly.
Let the cupcakes cool for 3–5 minutes before removing from the tin and serving warm.
