Time 1h45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 small head garlic, halved crosswise
2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
nonstick cooking spray
all purpose flour, for dusting
1 tube pizza dough
¾ cup shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
8 slices pepperoni
½ cup pizza sauce, divided
1 tablespoon grated parmesan cheese
¼ lb ground italian sausage, cooked
2 tablespoons green bell pepper, finely diced
2 tablespoons yellow onion, finely diced
8 cherry tomatoes, cut in half
store bought balsamic glaze, for garnish
1 tablespoon fresh basil, sliced, for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • Make the roasted garlic butter: Drizzle the halved head of garlic with the olive oil and wrap tightly in aluminum foil.
  • Transfer to the oven to bake for 40-50 minutes, or until the garlic cloves are golden and tender. Set aside to cool completely. Squeeze the garlic cloves into a bowl and mash into a paste using a fork. Add the melted butter and stir to combine. Keep in a warm place until ready to use. If the garlic butter solidifies, microwave for 15-20 seconds before using.
  • Make the deep dish pizzas: Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin pan with nonstick spray.
  • On a lightly floured surface, unroll the pizza dough and roll out slightly. Cut the dough lengthwise into quarters and crosswise into thirds so you have 12 squares total.
  • Gently shape each piece of dough into a circle, then place into a prepared muffin cup, pressing the dough flush against the bottom and sides. Brush each dough cup with the roasted garlic butter.
  • To 4 of the dough cups, add 1 tablespoon shredded mozzarella and 2 slices of pepperoni. Top with 1 tablespoon pizza sauce and a sprinkle of grated Parmesan to create mini Chicago-style deep dish pizzas.
  • To another 4 dough cups, add 1 tablespoon pizza sauce, 1 tablespoon Italian sausage, ½ tablespoon diced green pepper, and ½ tablespoon diced onion. Finish with 1 tablespoon of shredded mozzarella to create mini Italian sausage and pepper deep dish pizzas.
  • To the remaining 4 dough cups, add 4 cherry tomato halves and 1 tablespoon shredded mozzarella to each to create mini caprese deep dish pizzas.
  • Transfer the pizzas to the oven to bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and the cheese is melted. Let cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a serving platter. Drizzle the caprese pizzas with balsamic glaze and garnish with the basil.
  • Serve warm.
  • Enjoy!

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

  • Remove mini frittatas from the oven. Top each with a spoonful of the sauce and a sprinkle of mozzarella cheese. Reserve the remaining sauce for serving. Continue baking to melt the cheese, 5 minutes more. Top with parsley and basil.

CHICAGO DEEP-DISH PIZZA MUFFINS



Chicago Deep-Dish Pizza Muffins image

Put down the fork and knife... here's a Chicago deep-dish pizza that you can actually eat by holding it in your hands! A beautiful golden crust contains a meaty, cheesy, saucy filling with Italian sausage, sweet peppers, and 3 types of cheese. The sauce and cheese char slightly on the outside as they bake, resulting in a super savory taste.

Provided by Chef John

Categories     Pizza

Time 1h20m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 teaspoons olive oil
1 (16 ounce) package cold, prepared pizza dough
4 ounces provolone cheese, diced
¾ cup cooked, crumbled Italian sausage
½ cup cooked, diced sweet peppers
4 ounces mozzarella cheese, grated
½ cup prepared pizza sauce
¾ cup freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Generously grease a 12-cup standard muffin pan with 2 teaspoons oil.
  • Roll dough on a lightly floured surface to a thickness of 1/8 inch. Pick it up from the edges to make sure it's not stuck to the surface, then cut out twelve 4-inch circles. Reroll the dough to cut all 12 circles if necessary.
  • Place each circle into a prepared muffin cup, making sure it's centered. Press and push dough up the sides of the cups, getting close to, but not all the way up to the top. When all circles have been placed in the muffin pan, go around one more time to push and press on each one.
  • Put 1 tablespoon provolone cheese into each cup, followed by 1 tablespoon cooked sausage and 2 teaspoons cooked peppers. Lightly press on the fillings to compress, then top with 1 rounded tablespoon mozzarella cheese and 2 tablespoons pizza sauce, pushing the sauce down gently into the fillings; it's okay that the fillings will be slightly higher than the pan. Sprinkle Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese generously over top.
  • Bake in the upper center of the preheated oven until the tops are beautifully browned, 30 to 35 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven and cool in the pan for 10 to 15 minutes. Go around the edge of each muffin with a knife, then use a fork or small spatula to remove from the pan.
  • Let cool on a rack for a few minutes, then garnish with parsley and serve.
