3. How to Make Mini Deep Dish Crescent Pizza Bites

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or lightly spraying it with cooking spray.

Step 2: Prepare the Crescent Dough

Unroll each can of crescent roll dough onto a clean surface. Using a rolling pin, flatten each triangle slightly to make it easier to mold into a deep dish cup.

Step 3: Shape the Dough

Cut each sheet into squares, about 3 inches by 3 inches. Gently press each square into the cups of a mini muffin tin, creating a small deep dish cup that holds the fillings.

Step 4: Fill with Pizza Flavors

Add a spoonful of pizza sauce into each crescent dough cup. Top with shredded mozzarella cheese, pepperoni slices, and your favorite toppings. Sprinkle with Italian seasoning for extra flavor.

Step 5: Bake to Perfection

Place the muffin tin into the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crescent dough is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.

Step 6: Serve Hot

Allow the mini deep dish crescent pizza bites to cool for a few minutes. Serve warm with extra pizza sauce on the side for dipping. These bites make for a delicious and easy deep dish pizza snack.

4. Tips for Perfect Pizza Bites

• Customize the toppings to suit your taste. Add veggies or different meats for variety.
