Instructions

Preheat and Prepare Muffin Tin: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a muffin tin with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Shape the Crust: Separate the biscuit dough and flatten each biscuit into a 3-inch round. Press each round into the bottom and slightly up the sides of each muffin cup to form a pizza crust.
Add Sauce: Spoon about 1 tablespoon of pizza sauce into each biscuit crust, spreading slightly to cover the base.
Layer Cheese and Toppings: Top each with a generous pinch of shredded mozzarella cheese and add a few mini pepperoni slices or your choice of optional toppings like diced bell peppers, mushrooms, or black olives.
Season: Sprinkle each mini pizza with a pinch of dried oregano and garlic powder to enhance the flavor.
Bake: Place the muffin tin in the oven and bake for 12–15 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the biscuit crusts turn golden brown.
Cool and Serve: Allow the mini pizzas to cool for about 5 minutes before removing them from the muffin tin. Serve warm or let cool completely to pack in lunchboxes.

Notes

These mini pizzas can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or enjoy cold.
For a healthier option, try using whole wheat biscuit dough.
Feel free to customize with your favorite pizza toppings to suit different tastes.
To keep pizzas crisp when packing for lunch, include a small ice pack to maintain freshness.
