Pasta/Pizza - Pizza muffins with cheese by Sabina J. - Recipia

Pizza muffins with cheese are baked in a muffin tin and filled with ham, cheese, smoked provola and olives. The rolled dough browns at the edges, while the cheeses melt inside; you can serve them as a warm appetizer. I let them cool a little before lifting them out of the tin. Preparation: 20 minutes. Cooking: 20 minutes. Total time: 40 minutes. Serves: 4. Approximately 450 kcal and 22 g protein per serving.

Ingredients

400 g pizza dough
2-3 tablespoons tomato juice
100 g sliced ham
100 g sliced semi-hard cheese
50 g sliced smoked provola cheese
50 g olives

Preparation

1. Roll out the pizza dough into a sheet and spread the tomato juice over it. Arrange the ham slices, cheese, smoked provola and olives down the middle. 2. Roll the sheet up tightly and cut the roll into 2 cm pieces. 3. Place the pieces in a muffin tin, cut side up and with the end of the roll underneath. Bake them for 20 minutes at 200 °C, until the edges are browned.

Notes

You can replace the ham with 100 g salami, and the provola with 50 g well-drained mozzarella; the dough contains gluten and the cheeses contain dairy. You can change the rest of the filling too, but very wet ingredients soften the dough and may leak out as they bake. If the olives are large, cut them into smaller pieces, and if they’re sitting in liquid, drain them well before adding them to the roll. If the dough is cold and keeps shrinking as you roll it out, leave it on the work surface for a little while. Roll it up tightly and press the end to seal, so the slices stay together in the tin. For more even pieces, cut the roll on a board rather than holding it in your hand. Serve them with a green salad. You can keep them in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheat them before serving.
