# Ingredients:
→ Key Components
01 -
Pizza dough, large portion
02 -
Mozzarella cheese, 8 halved slices (hard, not soft)
03 -
Provolone cheese, 4 slices
04 -
1 cup of pizza sauce
05 -
Your choice of extra toppings, but optional
# Steps:
01 -
Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) to heat up.
02 -
Coat the inside and sides of four 10-ounce oven-safe bowls with baking spray. Put them on a baking tray.
03 -
Place pieces of mozzarella cheese into the bowls, aligning the shorter sides toward the center.
04 -
Pour 2 tablespoons of pizza sauce over the mozzarella in each bowl and add any toppings you like (don’t overpack them). If you prefer, drizzle 2 more tablespoons of sauce.
05 -
Place one slice of provolone over the toppings to finish the layering.
06 -
Split the dough into four equal parts. Stretch each one into a circle that's 1–1.5 inches larger than your ramekin’s top.
07 -
Gently place the dough over the bowls, pressing lightly around the sides to seal everything in. Bake until the crust turns golden, about 15–25 minutes.
08 -
Once baked, take the bowls out and turn them upside-down onto plates. Loosen the edges of the crust with a knife or use tongs to safely pull off the bowl.
# Notes and Tips:
01 -
Stick to oven-friendly bowls like Pyrex to keep them safe.
02 -
Cook and cool raw toppings (like sausage) ahead of time.
03 -
Making the dough yourself? Give it at least an hour to rise before using.
