A fun twist on classic pizza flavors, these personal-sized pot pies feature gooey cheese, hearty marinara sauce, and a golden, flaky crust – perfect for cozy evenings or family dinners.

Ingredients

  • Pizza Dough (store-bought or homemade)
  • Marinara Sauce
  • Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
  • Pepperoni
  • Bell Peppers (red, green, yellow, or orange)
  • Mushrooms (button or baby bella)
  • Onion (small, diced)
  • Italian Seasoning (oregano, basil, thyme)
  • Olive Oil
  • Salt & Pepper
  • Grated Parmesan Cheese (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease your ramekins or oven-safe bowls.
  2. Roll out your pizza dough on a lightly floured surface until it’s about 1/8-inch thick. Cut out circles slightly larger than your ramekins to allow for overlap. Set aside.
  3. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the diced onion, bell peppers, and mushrooms, and sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened. Stir in the marinara sauce, Italian seasoning, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Simmer for another 5 minutes.
  4. Divide the marinara mixture evenly among the ramekins. Add a handful of shredded mozzarella cheese and a few slices of pepperoni to each. If desired, sprinkle a little grated parmesan on top for extra flavor.
  5. Lay the pizza dough circles over the ramekins, pressing gently to seal the edges. Use a knife to make a small slit in the middle of each dough top to allow steam to escape.
  6. Using a pastry brush, lightly coat the dough tops with olive oil for a golden finish.
  7. Place the ramekins on a baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and puffed.
  8. Let the pot pies rest for 5 minutes before serving – they’ll be piping hot!

Notes

[‘Don’t overfill the ramekins to prevent bubbling over while baking.’, ‘Keep pizza dough chilled until ready to roll out.’, ‘Customize toppings to suit your preferences.’, ‘Tent ramekins with foil if the crust browns too quickly.’, ‘Prepare the filling ahead of time and store in the fridge for convenience.’]
