Pizza Cupcakes!!!

Cupcakes for dinner... Seriously??


This started out as an idea I had, and it took a lot of trial and error to get these to perfection. Now I can't get my boyfriend to stop begging for them every night! They are delicious and cute and everything you could ever ask for out of a Pizza Cupcake! As it turns out - the Italians did not invent the Pizza, and neither did New Yorkians, or Chicagans. Wikipedia claims it was the Ancient Greece! The Italians only improved upon an ingenious idea.. And it appears that I have, too! Pizza cupcakes offer a personalized serving of gooey, cheesy, bready goodness to everyone!


I show you how to make a homemade marinara sauce in this Instructable. It is surprisingly easy! You'll wonder why you've never thought of it before... I use store bought dough (from my local grocery store's bakery - Pillsbury works, too!), store bought soy crumbles and Daiya cheese. I encourage you to try this with your own favorite toppings. Do you like olives? Onions? Pepperoni?

Step 1 Roasted Garlic

I only really have after shots of this process so I apologize. This is very easy to do, and you will probably start doing this all the time, if you don't already... I use roasted garlic in hummus, in sauces, and just spread onto toast. It is SO good. 


Preheat the oven to 350º F (177ºC). 


So you'll need one whole bulb of garlic. Start by cutting off just enough of the top to expose most of the cloves just a little bit. Drizzle olive over the cloves and wrap the bulb in tin foil. 

Place in the oven for one hour on middle rack.
