I don’t usually do savory recipes but with the success of our Pizza Cake, the popularity of cupcakes and the deliciousness of pizza, I figured I’d give these Pizza Cupcakes a try. It was refreshing to work with something totally different, so when I tried making them in a bunch of different ways, Paul (and I) were willing guinea pigs! We’ve been having pizza cupcakes for dinner for weeks! 
 
If you have a homemade pizza dough recipe that you want to use, definitely do that in place of the premade dough I used. I have yet to attempt pizza dough . . . or any bread to be honest . . . I’ve got to get that mastered soon. Also, if you have a homemade pizza sauce recipe, go ahead and use that too. This cupcake recipe is easy and fast, and by using premade dough and sauce, the time needed to make them is cut to under 5 minutes! 
 
Not only are these cupcakes fast, they are really versatile too.  I chose to go with the standard pepperoni pizza toppings, but you could customize them for whatever pizza flavour you love.  My favourite pizza is Hawaiian and I have yet to try that combination of flavours, but I know it will be amazing!
