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!
