• Take pizza dough and put enough in each cup to cover the bottom and 1/3 to 1/2 up the sides. Sprinkle garlic salt over top, then spoon 1 tablespoon sauce onto each crust.
• Layer toppings on the sauce: pepperoni, bell pepper, and onion. Add about 1 tablespoon Mexican cheese to each and continue layering toppings: salami, more bell pepper, and more pepperoni. Add a layer of mozzarella cheese and Cheddar cheese.

PIZZA CUPCAKES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a 12 cupcake pan with liners. (Note: Some commenters have suggested it's better to grease and bake directly in pan because the muffins will stick to the liners. It's less messy with the liners but the exterior of the batter does stick to the liners, so if you don't want that I would suggest baking directly into the muffin pan.)
• Mix 1 1/2 cups flour, sugar, salt and baking powder. Add in vegetable oil, egg and 1/3 cup milk into flour mixture and stir until batter is smooth. It will be sticky. (Add in another 2 tsbp milk if desired.) Fold/stir in cheese and pepperoni. Fill muffin cups about 2/3 full.
