Pizza muffin

When making pizza muffins, your first job is to take care of the dough 1: Combine flour, baking powder, and salt 2, then slowly add the water and mix with your hands 3.

Always knead by hand 4 and when all the water is absorbed, transfer the dough to a pastry board and roll it into a ball 5. Your next job is the filling: Cut the mozzarella into cubes 6,

then pour the tomato passata into a bowl and season with oil 7, salt 8, and oregano 9. Stir to combine the flavors.

Go back to your ball of dough, sprinkle a little flour over the work surface and roll out into a slightly oval shape 10 with a rolling pin. Your aim is to achieve a thickness of approximately ½ inch (1 cm) 11. Begin to spread the tomato passata over the surface of the dough with a spoon 12, adding approximately 2 tablespoons to each side.

Once you have added all the topping, fold the pastry over starting from the side closest to you 13 and roll it up (14-15).

Transfer the roll to a chopping board and cut 12 mini rolls using a large, very sharp knife. (16-17). Grease a mold for 12 muffins 18.

Place the rolls in the molds with the cut side uppermost 19. Add a little tomato passata that you have set aside 20 and stuff 3 cubes of mozzarella for pizza 21 into the middle of each muffin.

The pizza muffins are ready for cooking 22: bake them in a preheated conventional oven at 350°F (180°C) for 20/25 minutes. Once ready, take them out of the oven, wait for a few moments before tipping them out of the mold, and season with a little oregano to taste 23. Enjoy your pizza muffins while they are still piping hot 24.
