Ingredients

¾ cup all-purpose flour
¾ teaspoon baking powder
¾ cup whole milk
1 egg lightly beaten
4 ounces mozzarella cheese shredded (about 1 cup)
½ red bell pepper finely chopped
1 shallot finely chopped
½ teaspoon dried basil
½ teaspoon dried oregano
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 - 4 ounces pepperoni cut into quarters, optional

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375° F.
Oil a regular 24-cup mini-muffin pan. If you're using a silicone mini muffin pan, oiling isn’t necessary.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour and baking powder; whisk in the milk and beaten egg. Stir in the remaining ingredients (mozzarella, bell pepper, shallot, herbs and spices, and pepperoni). Let stand for 10 minutes.
Place the muffin pans on a large cookie sheet. Stir the batter and divide evenly among the mini-muffin cups. Bake at 375° F, until puffed and golden, about 20 to 25 minutes.
Serve pizza puffs with your favorite pizza sauce for dipping.
