Ingredients

• BROWN:
• 1⁄4 cup diced pepperoni
• DIVIDE:
• 1 lb. purchased pizza dough, room temperature
• FILL:
• 3⁄4 cup purchased pizza sauce
• 2 1⁄4 cups shredded part-skim mozzarella
• 1⁄4 cup chopped pepperoncini
• 1⁄4 cup grated Parmesan

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 450°. Coat the inside of the cups of a 12-cup muffin pan and the outside of the cups of a second 12-cup muffin pan with nonstick spray.

2. Brown pepperoni in a skillet over medium heat until crisp, about 5 minutes; drain on a paper-towel-lined plate.

3. Divide dough into 12 equal pieces, form into balls, and shape each into 4-inch rounds.

4. Form dough around the coated outside cups. Invert the second muffin pan and press over the shaped dough.

5. Bake dough cups, right side up, 10 minutes. Remove top pan and bake 2 minutes more.

6. Fill each dough cup with 1 Tbsp. sauce, 3 Tbsp. mozzarella, and 1 tsp. each pepperoni, pepperoncini, and Parmesan. Return pizzas to oven and bake until golden, 8–10 minutes. Allow pizzas to cool in the pan 10 minutes before serving.
