Description
Individual servings of pizza filling baked inside a pastry crust.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
- 1/2 cup ice water
- 1 cup pizza sauce
- 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup cooked ground beef or pepperoni, chopped
- 1/4 cup sliced black olives
- 1/4 cup sliced mushrooms
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Instructions
- Prepare the pastry: Mix flour and salt. Cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add ice water until the dough just comes together. Divide the dough in half, form into disks, wrap, and chill for 30 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease six standard muffin cups.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out one disk of dough thinly. Use a round cutter slightly larger than the muffin cup openings to cut out six circles for the bottom crusts. Press these circles into the prepared muffin cups.
- In a bowl, mix the pizza sauce, mozzarella cheese, ground meat/pepperoni, olives, and mushrooms.
- Spoon the filling evenly into the pastry-lined muffin cups.
- Roll out the second disk of dough. Cut out six circles for the top crusts, slightly larger than the muffin cup openings.
- Place a top crust over the filling in each cup. Crimp the edges to seal the top and bottom crusts together. Cut a small vent hole in the center of each top crust.
- Brush the tops of the pies with the beaten egg wash.
- Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is hot.
- Let the pies cool in the muffin tin for 5 minutes before carefully removing them.
Notes
- You can substitute your favorite pizza toppings in the filling mixture.
- For a quicker crust, use store-bought refrigerated pie crust dough.
