Pizza Muffins

Talk about perfect portion size mini pizzas! And PERFECT for the kids. These were awesome!! annnd again my husband loved the leftovers the next day!

Ingredients:

Pillsbury Refrigerated Pizza Dough
Pizza Sauce
Shredded Cheese
Pepperoni
Cupcake Tin (I used a muffin tin so the pizzas were bigger)


Directions:
Preheat oven to 425 degrees (as the package directed) and grease the cupcake pan.

I was able to get 1 tube of dough to fit 12 cupcake molds. Push the dough into the molds; try to make the dough cover the sides.

Cover dough with pizza sauce, cheese and pepperoni.

Bake for 10-15 minutes. Since mine were in larger molds they didn't cook through all the way, but other than that they were amazing!

Braided Spaghetti Bread

I'm not sure if I've said this before but spaghetti is not my favorite so it's very rare that I make it. So when I found this recipe on pinterest I figured I would give it a shot because I LOVE garlic bread and my husband loves spaghetti..Win Win, right!? So good! I will be making this again!!!

Ingredients:

1 Loaf Rhodes Bread Dough or 12 Rhodes Dinner Rolls, thawed to room temperature

6 oz spaghetti, cooked

1 cup thick spaghetti sauce

8 oz mozzarella cheese, cut into 1/2 –inch cubes

1 egg white

Parmesan cheese

Parsley flakes

Directions:

1. Spray counter lightly with non-stick cooking spray (or use parchment paper).

2. Roll loaf or combined dinner rolls into a 12x16-inch rectangle. Cover with plastic wrap and let rest for 10-15 minutes.

3. Cook spaghetti according to package instructions. Drain and let cool slightly.

4. Remove wrap from dough. Place spaghetti lengthwise in a 4-inch strip down the center of dough. Tip with sauce and cheese cubes. (I mixed my spaghetti and sauce together and added a ½ pound of cooked Italian Sausage)

5. Make cuts 1 ½-inches apart on long sides of dough to within ½-inch of filling.

6. Begin braid by folding top and bottom strips toward filling. Then braid strips left over right, right over left. Finish by pulling last strip over and tucking under braid.

7. Lift braid with both hands and place on large sprayed baking sheet. (or transfer parchment paper to baking sheet). Brush with egg white and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and parsley (I added garlic powder).

8. Bake at 350 for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown. Cool slightly and slice to serve.
