These mini deep dish pizzas are surprisingly easy to make and taste delicious. The secret is crescent roll dough which you can use to make a lot more than crescent rolls. The wonderful thing about these little pizzas is that they are the perfect size for kids or for an adult who is watching their portions.
Open up the tube of crescent dough and unroll it. The dough is actually comprised of two large rectangles that have been perforated into triangles. Separate the large rectangles of dough and push down the dough where the triangles connect. You will get 2 large rectangles from a tube of dough and be able to make 8 pizzas from it.
Spray a muffin tin with cooking spray. Press each of the dough pieces into your muffin cup. You will need to mold it to fit the cup.Make sure you seal the bottom of the dough so sauce will not drip out.
