Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 190°C and lightly grease 8 standard muffin cups with non-stick cooking spray.
  2. Slice the crescent roll dough into 8 even squares and gently shape each square to press it into the prepared muffin cups, covering the base and sides.
  3. Sprinkle about 14 grams of mozzarella cheese into the bottom of each dough-lined cup, then spoon 15 milliliters of pizza sauce over the cheese.
  4. Evenly distribute the remaining mozzarella cheese across the cups and layer your selected toppings such as pepperoni, ham, sausage, peppers, onions, and mushrooms. Dust each cupcake with garlic powder.
Baking
  1. Bake for 15 to 18 minutes until the crust is golden and the cheese is melted and bubbling.
  2. Remove from the oven, loosen the edges with a small knife, and serve hot.
