I typically make my own homemade pizzaor french bread pizza instead of grabbing the frozen ones from the store. I make the dough from scratch, make my own pizza sauce and even my own pizza sausage from ground pork. So making a pizza isn’t really something Iwhip together last minute. However, I found these little pizza puffsthat are pretty quick and perfect for when guests stop by. They also make awesome appetizers for game day or for plopping on the couch to watch a movie.

Iremembered that I had saved these somewhere deep in my bookmarks tab, and light bulb!Who doesn’t love pizza? Especially in bite size portions, we all know everything is better in miniature form.
I followed Cathy’s recipe, but did add some sausage in some of my pizza puffs and used my homemade pizza saucefor dipping.

Hi, just found this recipe and it looks delicious! Can’t wait to try it. One question: can any flour work or does it half to be all-purpose white flour? Would almond flour or wheat flour work? Any other recommendations?
Thanks!

Hi Morgana! I haven’t tried these with anything other than all-purpose flour. If you are accustomed to substituting with gluten-free flours, I would suggest following whatever guidelines you use with other recipes. Let me know how it goes, would love to hear!

Hi Amanda. I tried this and my family loved it as a quick snack and my son wanted me to make some for his lunch the next day. One issue with this recipe is that 4 oz is 1/2 cup, not 1 cup so I assumed you meant 4 oz. I am going to try this with other ingredients as well. Thanks for the great recipe!Reply
Amanda Formaro says
Hi Patty! Actually while 4 ounces does equal 1/2 cup of liquid measure, 4 ounces of shredded cheese or pepperoni actually fits into a 1-cup measuring cup. Hope that helps clear things up!

I make pizza pancakes which is similar to this. Baking mix, milk, egg (like you would for pancakes) mix in italian seasoning, shredded moz cheese, chopped pepperoni, and precooked sausage finely crumbled. Cook just like a pancake. When done, cut into wedges and dip into warmed pizza sauce.
