- Bake Until Golden and Puffy
Place the muffin pan in the preheated oven and bake for about 18-20 minutes, or until the
pizza puffs are golden brown and firm to the touch.
- Let Cool Slightly
Remove the pizza puffs from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes before
transferring to a serving plate.
- Serve with Marinara Sauce
Serve warm with a side of marinara sauce for dipping. Enjoy your delicious Pepperoni Pizza
