Ingredient:
4 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
1 tablespoon minced garlic
0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon sea salt
1 teaspoon italian seasoning
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon dried oregano
2 tablespoons parsley finely chopped, optional
1 pound pizza dough
1 cup pizza sauce
2 cups mozzarella cheese shredded
8 ounces pepperoni or turkey pepperoni.
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 450°F. Let pizza dough get to room temperature (1-2 hours from a refrigerator).
Start by making the garlic butter. In a small bowl, combine melted unsalted butter with finely chopped parsley, minced garlic, grated Parmesan cheese, a pinch of salt and pepper, and dried oregano. Set this mixture aside for later use.
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, 1 tablespoon minced garlic, 1 teaspoon sea salt, 1 teaspoon black pepper, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 2 tablespoons parsley
Take your pizza dough and divide it into equal-sized small balls, roughly the size of a ping pong ball.
1pound pizza dough
Brush the inside of each cup of a muffin tin with some of the prepared garlic butter.
Place each dough ball into its own cup in the muffin tin. Cover them and let them rise in a warm place until they double in size (30-45 minutes)
Once the dough has risen, use a small glass or the bottom of a muddler to push down the center of each dough ball to create a cup shape. Using your fingers to create the mold also works fine.
Brush the inside of each dough cup with more garlic seasoning butter.
Fill each cup with marinara sauce, a layer of shredded mozzarella cheese, and your choice of toppings, such as turkey pepperoni or vegetables.

Add another layer of marinara sauce, more toppings, and a final layer of cheese, making sure to cover the entire surface area for a crispy edge. Use the parmesan and mozzarella blend on top to create the crispy top.
