Average Rating: 5

TOTAL TIME: Prep: 45 min. + rising Bake: 20 min.
YIELD: 8 servings.

Ingredients

  • 1-1/2 teaspoons active dry yeast
  • 1 cup warm water (110° to 115°)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 2-1/2 to 3 cups bread flour

  • FILLING:
  • 1 jar (14 ounces) pizza sauce
  • 1 small eggplant, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
  • 1 small zucchini, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
  • 1 medium sweet red pepper, chopped
  • 1 medium sweet yellow pepper, chopped
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 4 ounces sliced pepperoni
  • 1 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
  • 3/4 cup shredded provolone cheese
  • 3/4 cup shredded Asiago cheese
  • 3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 teaspoons honey
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1 teaspoon garlic salt
  • 1 teaspoon pizza or Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

  • 1. In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add the oil, honey, salt and 1-1/2 cups flour. Beat until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough (dough will be sticky).
  • 2. Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease the top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
  • 3. In a large bowl, combine the pizza sauce, vegetables, pepperoni, cheeses, honey, garlic and seasonings; divide among eight 10-oz. ramekins or custard cups.
  • 4. Punch dough down. Divide dough into eight portions. On a lightly floured surface, roll out dough to fit ramekins. Cut out a decorative center with a small Christmas cookie cutter or small cookie cutter of your choice. Place dough over filling; trim and seal edges. Brush with oil.
  • 5. Place ramekins on a baking sheet. Bake at 375° for 20-25 minutes or until filling is bubbly and crust is golden brown.
