Pizza Pot Pies

• servings: 4 servings
• active time: 15 minutes
• total time: 40 minutes

Ingredients

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)

Directions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Lightly grease 4-6 small ramekins or oven-safe bowls (depending on the size of your pies).

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 in the preheated oven 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.
