Ingredients
- 2 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil, divided
- 24 pepperoni slices, divided
- 4 Organic ONE SWEET Mini Peppers, sliced crosswise into rings
- 1 cup pizza sauce or marinara
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
- 1 tsp. Italian seasoning
- 1 ball of pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
Directions
- Preheat oven to 450ºF. In a large sauté pan over medium heat, add 1 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil, 12 pepperoni slices, and sliced mini peppers and sauté for 2-3 minutes. Add in 1-½ cups shredded mozzarella and pizza sauce (or marinara), and Italian seasoning. Reduce heat to medium-low and stir until cheese is melted. Set aside.
- Get the kids involved in this step: On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough. Use a 4” round cookie cutter to cut out 8 rounds. Using a fork, make a few punctures in each piece of dough. Then, place 4 of the rounds into a cupcake tin (or individual ramekins). Bake for 4 minutes then have an adult remove from the oven. Allow them to cool slightly before getting the kids involved in the next step.
- Spoon about ⅓ cup of the cooled filling mixture into each mini pot pie base. Then, seal the top of each with remaining 4 rounds of pizza dough. Brush the tops with the remaining 1 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil.
- Bake them for 10 minutes. Remove from oven and top each with remaining shredded cheese and pepperoni slices. Return to oven and bake just until cheese is melted about 1 minute. Let cool for at least 5 minutes before serving.
