2 things I tried in muffin tins this week

I randomly came across these ideas from 2 completely different sources this week, but I thought they both looked fun. At the end of both, I can say that I needed to use muffin liners, because my pan is now all scratched up. They were, however, very yummy and cool because they come in the cute little muffin shape


Pizza Muffin Rollups
Start with your favorite pizza dough recipe, here's mine:

Easy Pizza Dough
1 1/2 cups warm water
1 tbls yeast
1 tbls sugar
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp garlic salt (optional)
**Add this dough enhancer, it really makes your bread so much better. They don't have it in Cali, so I stock up when I'm at the Walmart in Utah!


Pour water into bowl, sprinkle yeast on top. Let yeast dissolve. Add remaining ingredients. Mix with beaters for 2 minutes. Knead a few times, using extra flour if necessary. Let rise in bowl for at least 30 minutes.
Roll out dough. Cover cooking sheet with a layer of Olive Oil, place dough on top, add toppings. Cook in preheated 400 oven for 15- 20 minutes
Now here is my muffin variation:

(just pretend you're making cinnamon rolls, except with pizza toppings)

1.

2.
3. (pour a drop or 2 of olive oil at the bottom of each one)
4. The finished product



Bacon & Egg Muffin

There is not much explanation, I think the pictures do enough. You can use ham instead of bacon.
Mold a piece of bread into a very buttered muffin tin, if you use a muffin liner, put butter in there too. Then sprinkle with bacon, then break an egg over the top. I might sprinkle some cheese on top next time. Bake at 350 for about 15 minutes, or until the egg is cooked to your taste.
