# Steps:
01 -
Preheat oven to 375°F. Lightly grease 8 standard muffin cups with nonstick spray.
02 -
Divide crescent roll dough into 8 equal portions. Gently mold and press each piece into a muffin cup, shaping it to form a deep crust along the base and sides.
03 -
Add roughly 1 tablespoon of shredded mozzarella to the bottom of each dough-lined cup, followed by 1 tablespoon pizza sauce.

Evenly distribute the remaining shredded mozzarella over each cup. Top with your choice of pepperoni, ham, sausage, bell peppers, onions, and mushrooms. Sprinkle garlic powder evenly over all cups.

Bake for 15–18 minutes, until crust is golden and cheese is fully melted. Remove from oven, use a small knife to loosen the edges, and serve hot.
