Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Spray the cavities of a mini muffin pan with cooking spray.
- Remove the pizza dough from the packaging and allow it to come to room temperature on a floured surface.
- Using a rolling pin or your hands, roll it out into a VERY thin layer. Using either a small round cookie cutter (about 2 inches) or an empty 4.5-ounce can, cut it into rounds.
- Using your fingers, stretch the dough without tearing and press into the prepared muffin cups.
- Next, assemble the pizzas. Spoon about 2 teaspoons of the crushed tomatoes into each cup. Sprinkle with a little Italian seasoning and top with about 1 tablespoon of mozzarella. Top with the mushrooms, sausage and pepperoni or whatever toppings you prefer.
- Bake until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melty and bubbly, 15 to 20 minutes.

- Don't overcrowd the pizzas. Too many toppings will make them soggy.
