Don't overfill the muffin cups, or the pizza cupcakes might overflow while baking. Feel free to experiment with different toppings such as cooked ham, sausage, bell peppers, mushrooms, or olives to create your own signature pizza cupcake. For a crispy crust, pre-bake the dough circles for 5 minutes before adding the toppings.
