My contribution to football Sunday. These puffs are even better than Little Caesars and only a fraction of the cost ($1.61 per person). 24 puffs for $9.68!

Dough (makes 24-30 puffs)

  • 4.25 cups Bread Flour = $0.93
  • 2.25 tsp Rapid-rise Yeast = $1.00
  • 1.5 tsp Salt = $0.02
  • 2 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil = $0.36
  • 1.75 cup Warm Water = Free

Total = $2.31

Filling

  • 7 oz Pizza sauce = $.70
  • 16 oz Cheese = $3.58
  • 6 oz Pepperoni = $3.09

Total = $7.37

Total = $9.68 ($1.61 per person)

This dough recipe is for 24-30 puffs. Mix all dry ingredients then mix in oil, then slowly mix in water. Knead for 10 min or stand mix for 5. Oil a large bowl and let dough rise until doubled 60-90min in a warm place. Dump dough onto a lightly floured surface and divide into 24 or so pieces.

Preheat oven 450F. Spray muffin tins with oil and press dough balls flat and a little up the walls of the tin. Spoon sauce onto the dough, layer in some cheese, place 2 or 3 pepperoni, top with a layer of cheese.

Bake for ~15 min until the cheese is melted and golden.

In a bowl melt about 5 tbsp of butter. Add garlic powder, sugar, salt, and Italian seasoning and mix. Brush the top of the puffs and serve.

You are finally invented a form of Chicago Pizza that I’m interested in: a legitimate “pizza pie“. It’s the perfect marriage of a pizza, a lasagna, and a meat pie.

These puffs are even better than Little Caesars...

Sorry, but a cardboard box is better than LC.

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

Only if you don’t buy the cheapest cardboard. Since that’s what LC sells…

I will be making pizza puffs! Thank you for sharing.

[–] Tempus_Fugit@midwest.social 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

You're welcome. I hope they come out as good as mine.

I'm going to cheat by buying the frozen grocery store pizza dough, so yours are definitely better.
