Pepperonipizzapuffs Recipes

Steps:

• For sauce: Combine all sauce ingredients with 1/2 cup water in a medium bowl; set aside for flavors to develop while making crust. Freeze remaining paste .
• For crusts: Combine 2 cups of flour with the dry yeast, sugar and salt. Add the water and oil and mix until well blended (about 1 minute). Gradually add enough remaining flour slowly, until a soft, sticky dough ball is formed.
• Knead for about 4 minutes, on a floured surface, until dough is smooth and elastic. Add more flour, if needed. (If using RapidRise® Yeast, let dough rest, covered, for 10 minutes.)
• Divide dough in half. Pat each half (with floured hands) into a 12-inch greased pizza pan OR roll dough to fit pans.
• For pizzas: Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Top crusts with sauce, pepperoni and cheese.
• Bake for 18 to 20 minutes until crusts are browned and cheese is bubbly. For best results, rotate pizza pans between top and bottom oven racks halfway through baking.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Spray 10 muffin cups with cooking spray.
• Press biscuits, one at a time, between hands to flatten. Place each flattened biscuit in a muffin cup; press into bottom and up sides of muffin cup. Set aside for biscuit to settle and slightly rise, about 5 minutes. Lightly press biscuits into cups as needed.
• Spoon 1 tablespoon pizza sauce into each biscuit; top each with 1 slice pepperoni and 1 tablespoon mozzarella cheese.
• Bake in the preheated oven until biscuit is lightly browned and cheese is melted, about 10 minutes. Remove each pizza from tin and place on a cooling rack, about 5 minutes.

Steps:

• Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
• Cut the dough into 8 equal pieces. Using floured hands if needed, carefully stretch each piece into a thin disk (the shape doesn't have to be perfect) about 5 inches in diameter.
• Transfer the dough balls to the prepared baking sheet and fill each with 1/2 tablespoon mozzarella on one half, leaving a 1-inch border around the edge. Line the cheese with 3 slices pepperoni, and a strip of red pepper. Starting from the smaller border, stretch the dough over the filling, then continue rolling the dough (like you would roll a carpet) to wrap the filling twice. Place on a foil-lined baking sheet, seam-side down. Pinch any holes with your fingers to patch.
• Brush the dough with a very light coating of olive oil. Bake until golden-brown, 15 to 17 minutes, then remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375.
• Grease 24-cup mini-muffin pan.
• In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, Italian seasoning, and salt.
• Whisk in the milk and egg.
• Stack slices of pepperoni and cut into small pieces.
• Stir in mozzarella, Parmesan, and pepperoni.
• Let stand for 10 minutes.
• Stir the batter and divide among the mini-muffin cups.
• Bake until puffy and golden, about 20-25 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat the pizza sauce until warmed through.
• Serve the sauce with the Pizza Puffs for dipping.

Steps:

• Combine first 5 ingredients until well mixed.
• Add pepperoni, and allow batter to stand for 15 minutes.
• Grease mini muffin pans and fill 3/4 full.
• Bake at 350-degrees for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown.
