How To Make Little Caesars Crazy Puffs
Divide your pizza dough into small round balls (approx. The size of a golf ball, I had 9 total)
Make your garlic butter mixture by melting butter
Add Minced Garlic, Italian Seasoning, and parmesan cheese to the melted butter. Mix well.
Use this butter to butter your muffin tins
Place one dough ball inside each muffin tin
Cover your muffin tins with saran wrap and set aside in a warm place (I placed mine on top of the stove while it was preheating)
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees
Once your dough balls have doubled in size. Use the back of a shot glass or the back of a wooden spoon, with a little olive oil rubbed on it, to create a deep well in your pizza dough
Spread Garlic butter on the inside of your dough.
Then start layering with pepperoni
Sauce
Shredded mozzarella cheese
Pepperoni again
Then more shredded mozzarella to cover the top
Place in the oven for 12-15 minutes or until crispy
Once you remove spread some more garlic butter over the top and let rest for 5-10 minutes.
Enjoy!
If you want to make the cheese & herb crazy puffs, omit the pepperoni
Tips & Tricks
- Use fresh pizza dough: Fresh dough yields the best results and ensures a light and airy texture for your Crazy Puffs.
- Don’t skip the garlic butter: The garlic butter adds an extra layer of flavor and helps keep the dough moist and flavorful.
- Customize the fillings: While pepperoni is classic, feel free to get creative with your fillings. Try different types of cheese, veggies, or even cooked sausage for variety.
- Preheat your oven: Make sure your oven is fully preheated before baking to ensure even cooking and a crispy crust.
- Use a shot glass or wooden spoon handle: Using the back of a shot glass or a wooden spoon handle to create the wells in the dough ensures uniformity and makes the process easier.
- Let them rest: Allowing the Crazy Puffs to rest after baking helps them set and allows the flavors to meld together.
- Serve with dipping sauce: For an extra touch, serve your Crazy Puffs with a side of warm pizza sauce or marinara for dipping.
With these tips, your Crazy Puffs will be a delicious and impressive addition to any meal or snack time!
