Pepperoni Pizza Popovers Recipes

PEPPERONI PIZZA POPPERS

Steps:

• Spray a mini muffin pan with cooking spray and preheat oven to 375 degrees.
• Unroll crescent dough and separate into squares of 2 triangles stuck together. Take each square and press on the seam to seal it. Cut into 4 smaller squares. Between the 2 containers of crescent dough, you should get 32 pieces of dough (if I've done the math right). It's ok if they're a little misshapen.
• Press dough squares down into mini muffin cups, shaping them to fit the bottom and up the sides.
• Using 2 spoons, place a small amount of cream cheese (maybe 1/2 teaspoon, but totally up to personal preference) into bottom of each dough-filled muffin cup.
• On top of cream cheese, spoon a little pizza sauce (maybe 1 teaspoon) into each cup.
• Top pizza sauce with a little sprinkling of oregano and mozzarella cheese. Place 3 to 4 mini pepperonis on top of each popper.
• Place in oven for 10 to 12 minutes, but check after 8 minutes because you definitely do not want to burn these guys.
• Let cool in pan for a minute or two, just until cool enough to handle. If reusing the pan for another batch it is best to let the pan cool before placing dough into it.

PEPPERONI PIZZA POPOVERS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F Using cooking spray coat muffin pan bottom & sides.
• In a medium mixing bowl beat eggs, milk & oil with whisk until combined.
• Add flour, basil, oregano & garlic powder. Beat until well combined. Stir in pepperoni.
• Fill prepared muffin pan HALF full of batter. Bake at 400 F for about 20 minutes or until popovers appear dry.
• Remove from oven and add a teaspoon to tablespoon of marinara sauce on the top of each popover. Sprinkle cheese and bake for an additional 5 minutes longer.
• Remove from pan & serve. Enjoy!

PEPPERONI PIZZA POPCORN

Steps:

• Position an oven rack in the bottom of the oven, and preheat it to 200 degrees F.
• Line a baking sheet with parchment and generously coat it with cooking spray. Spread the tomato paste into a thin layer on the parchment (an offset metal spatula works best). Bake until the paste deepens to brick red and is dull in color and not shiny in any spots, about 2 hours. (It will look and feel like fruit leather.) Let it cool completely. Tear the paste into small pieces and finely grind them in batches in a spice grinder.
• Place all the ground tomato paste back into the spice grinder. Add the Parmesan, oregano, garlic salt and pepper flakes, and grind to a fine powder. Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days. The spice blend makes enough for about 6 batches of popcorn.
• To make 1 batch of pepperoni pizza popcorn: Heat 1/2 tablespoon olive or vegetable oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add 1/2 cup kernels; when one pops, cover the pot, and cook, shaking the pot constantly, until the popping subsides to 1 pop every 20 seconds, about 5 minutes. Add the pepperoni, sundried tomatoes, some melted butter and 2 heaping tablespoons of the pizza spice and toss to coat.

CHEESE & PEPPERONI POPOVERS

Steps:

• Spray the bottoms and sides of eight muffin pans for Yorkshire pudding and set aside .
• Preheat oven to 400°F.
• In a bowl with a wire whisk, mix the eggs, milk and oil together.
• Then add the flour, basil, oregano, parsley and garlic powder, mix until well blended.
• Stir in the pepperoni.
• Fill the prepared pan, half full of batter.
• Bake in a 400°F oven for 20 minutes. Remove from oven and sprinkle the cheese onto of the popovers and return to the oven for 5 more minutes.
• Remove from pan and serve immediately.
• *Please Note*.
• I have added more pepperoni on Nimz's suggestion. It tastes even better.

HOMEMADE PEPPERONI PIZZA

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.

PIZZA POPOVERS RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
• In a blender, combine the eggs, egg whites, milk, and tomato paste. Blend until smooth. Add the oregano, garlic powder, salt, 2 tablespoons of melted butter, and flour and blend on high speed for 2-3 minutes, until completely smooth. Transfer the batter to a liquid measuring cup with a pour spout and let rest at room temperature for 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, place the popover pan in the oven to preheat.
• After resting, fold ¼ cup (30 g) Parmesan and ¼ cup (35 g) chopped pepperoni into the popover batter.
• Remove the popover pan from the oven and brush ¼ teaspoon melted butter in each cup, then fill ¾ of the way full with batter. Sprinkle with the remaining pepperoni and remaining 1½ tablespoons Parmesan cheese.
• Bake the popovers for 25-30 minutes, or until they appear puffed and dry (do not open the oven door to check).
• Garnish the popovers with basil and serve immediately with warm marinara sauce alongside.
• Enjoy!
