1
Cut the mozzarella into small cubes and let it drain in a colander to remove excess liquid.
2
In a large bowl, combine the flour, yeast, and salt. Add the water and start mixing with a spoon. When the dough begins to form, continue kneading with your hands, first in the bowl and then on a floured surface, until you obtain a smooth and homogeneous dough.
3
Divide the dough into 8 equal portions. On a lightly floured surface, roll out each piece with a rolling pin to form discs about 12 cm in diameter.
4
Fill the center of each disc with a few cubes of mozzarella and a spoonful of Mutti Pasta Sauce with Datterini Tomatoes. Lift the edges upward and seal them well with your hands.
5
Lightly grease an aluminum muffin mold with a kitchen brush. Place the stuffed muffins inside the molds, then arrange them in a muffin tray.
6
Add a teaspoon of Mutti Pasta Sauce with Datterini Tomatoes on top of each muffin and bake in a static oven at 180°C for 20 minutes. Add a bit of mozzarella and another teaspoon of sauce, then bake again for another 7-8 minutes.

Serve the muffins hot, finishing with a sprinkle of oregano.
Muffin Pizza is a delicious and original way to bring the taste of Italian tradition to the table in a new format. Perfect for an aperitivo, a snack, or a buffet, these small delights enclose all the goodness of Mutti Pasta Sauce with Datterini Tomatoes, which provides a rich and sweet flavor, enhancing every bite with its unmistakable quality.
This recipe adapts to every need: with instant yeast, Muffin Pizza is ready in no time, perfect for when time is short. For those who prefer a more traditional approach, regular yeast can be used, allowing a couple of hours for the dough to rise. If you opt for the latter, for 400 g of flour, use 10 g of brewer’s yeast and allow 2 hours of rising time. In both cases, the result will be surprising: a soft dough that embraces the freshness of Mutti Pasta Sauce with Datterini Tomatoes, enriched with melted mozzarella and fragrant oregano.
Muffin Pizza is ideal for customization with your favorite ingredients, such as zucchini, eggplant, peppers, ham, tuna, or olives. Serve them hot and fragrant for an experience that will win over everyone, both young and old. A small pleasure with an authentic and genuine taste!
