Description
Miniature pizza pot pies made with biscuit dough, filled with pizza sauce, mozzarella cheese, and pepperoni.
Ingredients
Scale
- 462 g canned biscuit dough (8 pieces, Pillsbury Grands Original Southern Style)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Italian seasoning blend, plus extra for garnish (optional)
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic salt
- 80 ml jarred pizza sauce
- 170 g shredded mozzarella cheese
- 45 g mini pepperoni rounds
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 175°C. Arrange eight 9 cm (½ cup capacity) disposable aluminum muffin tins on a small rimmed baking sheet. Lightly coat each tin with nonstick cooking spray.
- Flatten each biscuit to a 10–11 cm disc using your hands or a work surface. Gently press one disc into each prepared muffin tin, ensuring the dough is molded against the bottom and sides. Repeat with all biscuits.
- Using a fork, poke holes in the base and sides of the dough in each muffin tin to prevent excessive rising during baking.
- Blend olive oil with Italian seasoning and garlic salt in a small bowl. Using a pastry brush, lightly brush the seasoned oil onto the dough interior of each muffin tin, taking care to avoid excess oil pooling.
- Spoon 7–10 ml (1.5–2 teaspoons) of pizza sauce into each lined biscuit base.
- Distribute approximately 20–30 g (2–3 tablespoons) shredded mozzarella into each biscuit shell over the sauce.
- Finish each with 7–8 mini pepperoni rounds. Sprinkle with extra Italian seasoning if desired.
- Transfer the tray to the oven and bake for 20–24 minutes, or until the biscuit crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbling.
- Remove from oven and let the pot pies cool in the muffin tins for 5 minutes. Use a small knife or offset spatula to release and serve.
