Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups Greek yogurt or cottage cheese
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2-3/4 cups pizza sauce
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, more to taste
- Toppings: Mini pepperoni, cooked crumbled sausage, diced veggies (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F and prepare a 12-cup muffin tin by spraying it with oil or lining it with parchment liners. A silicone muffin pan is recommended.
- In a large bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and salt.
- Add the Greek yogurt or cottage cheese and mix initially with a spoon. Then, use your hands to form a dough ball. If the dough is too sticky, gradually add 1-2 tablespoons of flour until workable.
- Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces, roughly the size of a golf ball.
- Shape each piece by pressing it into the muffin tin, flattening the base and slightly pressing it up the sides to create a cup.
- Fill each cup with approximately 1 tablespoon of pizza sauce, adding 1-2 tablespoons of shredded cheese and any additional toppings you like.
- Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the cheese has melted.
- Allow to cool for at least 5 minutes before removing from the tin and serving.
Notes
For extra flavor, consider adding herbs or spices to the dough itself.
These cups can be customized with any toppings you prefer, so feel free to get creative!
Store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat in the oven for the best texture.
