Pizza muffin cups (nut free) (or pizza rolls if you prepare dough differently, see notes below)

INGREDIENTS
2 tablespoons cream cheese
1½ cups + ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
¾ cup sunflower flour
1 egg, beaten
Garlic powder, to taste

Toppings can include:
Chopped pepperoni or sausage or BBQ chicken:

½ cup cooked, chopped chicken
2½ tablespoons barbecue sauce
¼ small red onion, thinly sliced
Fresh cilantro, to garnish (optional)

HOW TO MAKE IT
Preheat oven to 400°F. Grease 8 cups of a 12-cup muffin tin (or line a baking pan in parchment.)
Place cream cheese and 1½ cups mozzarella cheese in a medium microwave-safe bowl. Heat for 1 minute, stir, then heat for an additional 30 seconds.
Add sunflower flour, egg, and garlic powder to cheese mixture. Stir until thoroughly combined. 

Cup or roll? (It’s a wet dough)

Cup

• Divide dough evenly between the 8 muffin cups, pressing into the bottom and up the sides of the cup. Make sure to leave an indentation in the middle of each cup to allow room for the filling. Using a fork, poke a few holes in the bottom of the dough in each cup.
• Bake dough for 5 minutes. Remove from oven and set aside.
• In a small bowl prepare toppings. Cut meats, or mix cooked chicken and barbecue sauce. Divide evenly between the 8 muffin cups (approximately 1 tablespoon per cup).
• Top each cup with approximately 1 tablespoon of mozzarella cheese.
• Bake for an additional 8 minutes. Let cool for a few minutes, then remove pizza muffins from tin. Top with cilantro if desired.

Or Roll

• Place half the dough on a silicone mat and place another mat/parchment paper on top. Roll between mats/paper until thin rectangle.
• Add toppings to one side and roll dough up over toppings then push down to seal the toppings in. Cut off excess pastry, slice to desired size and move to parchment covered pan. Repeat until dough is gone. Roll out remaining dough and repeat. Can sprinkle with onion flakes or sesame seeds (opt)
• Cook at 400 for 12-15 minutes until golden brown.

Notes:  I really struggled to get these out of the muffin tins, but I also forgot to pre-bake…so maybe that makes a difference. I prefer the sausage roll method.

*Serve with pizza or marinara sauce for quick meals or snacks 

**Can substitute for almond flour as that is the original recipe.
