Directions:Pop open the delicious tube of triple-bleached goo, to which we owe our robust physiques! Cut the dough roll into 4 equal sections. 1 section for each cup. Then cut each section down even further into 3 sections, which will become the basis for our patented Flavor Layer Technology. Coat your cups (or dough slices) with olive oil. Begin building your first Flavor Layer by dropping a section of dough into the bottom of the cup. Add a large spoonful of sauce, a slice of pepperoni, some cheese, and a sprinkle of oregano and you've got your first layer. (This tutorial is the kid version, so experimenting with other classic ingredients is certainly encouraged.) Repeat process on remaining dough layers. 3 layers per cup. Mmm, now you're ready to load 'em into the oven.
Depending on your oven, you may need to tweak the following settings. Keep a close eye on your mugs the first time out, so you can make temperature adjustments accordingly. Here's what has worked for us... Set your oven timer for 30 minutes and your oven at 425 degrees. In order to minimize the possibility of the mugs cracking due to a sudden change in temperature, we put the Cups O' Pizza in the oven during the preheat process, so they gradually warm up. After 30 minutes, take a look at your cups. They should be poofing out of mugs and cheese should be browning and bubbly. If not, leave 'em in a just a few more minutes. Because you've created what amounts to 4 big chunks of energy efficient pizza insulation, please allow them to cool down for at least 10 minutes before handing them off to a child or really hungry child-like friend. |
