Servings: persons

1 packet active dry yeast
1 cup warm water
1 teaspoon sugar
2 cups bread flour
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup tomato sauce
1/3 cup perlini mozzarella
1/4 cup olives, sliced
1/4 small onion, diced
3 mushrooms, sliced
1/2 green pepper, diced
1 handful cherry tomatoes, halved
1 handful pepperoni
1 roasted chicken breast, pulled apart
Fresh basil

1
Mix yeast, sugar, and water together and let sit until dissolved. Add 1 cup of flour and the salt; mix until smooth. Cover the dough and let it sit for about 20 minutes.
2
Then, in the bowl of an electric mixer begin mixing dough on low, after a few minutes add the second cup of flour. (Alternately, you can do this by hand.) Allow the dough to rise for an hour. Use this time to prepare your filling.
3
Preheat oven to 375u00b0F. Grease a muffin pan, and dust it lightly with flour. Punch the dough down, and roll it out into a rectangle about 1/4-by-8-by-16 inches. Cut your dough into six squares. Place the squares into the muffin pan.
4
Fill up the dough with your choice of toppings. Bake the pizza cups at 375u00b0F for about 15 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and the crust is golden brown. Cool for a few minutes then serve.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
