Just spread the dough in the greased muffin tin. Spread some sauce, add the toppings and finish with grated cheese. pop into the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes. Once the cheese melts and the muffin turns golden brown, it is ready.
You can even freeze the baked muffins and just reheat them as needed.

Hi! This recipe looks interesting, I have a doubt..don’t we have to activate the yeast first?
Harini says
Hi!, this recipe uses instant dry yeast which can be directly mixed with the flour. If you use active dry yeast you should activate it first.
