Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all purpose flour or maida
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper powder
- 1 teaspoon red chili flakes (optional)
- 2 teaspoon pizza seasoning (or Italian seasoning)
- ½ cup olive oil
- ¾ cup milk
- 4 tablespoon curd
- ¼ cup pizza sauce
- ½ cup mozzarella cheese (or processed/cheddar both works fine)
- ¼ cup chopped onions
- ¼ cup chopped capsicum (any color)
- ¼ cup corn kernels cooked
- ¼ cup chopped tomato
- 8-9 pitted black olives sliced, optional
Instructions
Preparations for making the muffins
- Preheat the oven to 180 degree Celsius. Grease the muffin tray lightly with oil & dust it with flour or use muffin liners directly.
Making the pizza muffins
- In a mixing bowl, whisktogether milk, curd, olive oil & pizza sauce. Mix it.
- In a separate bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, and baking soda. Add mixed herbs, black pepper, salt, and red chili flakes.
- To the dry ingredients, add chopped onion, capsicum, tomato, corn, and olives. Then, incorporate the processed cheese and cheddar cheese. Mix everything well.
- Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the muffins dense.
- Spoon the batter into your prepared muffin tray, filling each cup about ¾ full.
- Top each muffin with a dollop of pizza sauce, chopped veggies (onion, capsicum, corn, and olives), and mozzarella cheese.
- Bake at 180°C (350°F) for 15-20 minutes. Start checking after 15 minutes. To test for doneness, insert a toothpick into the center of a muffin. If it comes out clean, the muffins are done.
Notes
- For perfectly textured muffins, avoid using vegetables straight from the refrigerator. Instead, let them come to room temperature. Cold vegetables can make your muffins soggy.
- You can use any toppings of your choice to customize your pizza muffins.
- I highly recommend using pizza sauce instead of regular tomato sauce for pizza flavor. It adds depth and complexity to the taste. You can even make a big batch of homemade pizza sauce in advance and store it in an airtight container in the fridge for future baking adventures.
- Always preheat your oven before baking your muffins. This ensures even cooking and a beautiful rise.
- Don't overmix the batter! Lightly combine all the ingredients until just incorporated. Overmixing leads to dense and tough muffins. We want them light and fluffy!
- Be mindful of salt. Cheese and olives are already quite salty. Adjust the salt in your batter accordingly.
- Using room temperature curd and milk is ideal. Boiling milk works too, just ensure it cools down completely before using it in your batter.
