Description
Pizza Pot Pies are a delightful combination of pizza and pot pie, perfect for family dinners or parties.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 package refrigerated pizza dough (or homemade pizza dough)
- 1 1/2 cups marinara sauce or pizza sauce
- 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup pepperoni slices (or your choice of toppings such as sausage, mushrooms, bell peppers, olives)
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- Olive oil for brushing (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Lightly grease 4-6 small ramekins or oven-safe bowls.
- Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface to about 1/8 inch thickness.
- Cut the dough into circles or squares large enough to fit into your ramekins, leaving about 1 inch of dough hanging over the sides.
- Gently press the dough into the bottom and sides of each ramekin to form a crust.
- Spoon about 2 tablespoons of pizza sauce into the bottom of each crust.
- Sprinkle 2-3 tablespoons of shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce.
- Add a few slices of pepperoni or any other desired toppings.
- Sprinkle a little grated Parmesan, dried oregano, basil, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes over the filling.
- Top each pot pie with more mozzarella cheese and fold the overhanging dough over the top to partially cover the filling.
- Brush the tops with a little olive oil for a golden finish (optional).
- Place the ramekins on a baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the dough is golden and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Allow the pies to cool for 5 minutes before serving.
- Serve hot with extra marinara sauce on the side for dipping.
