Ingredients

2 teaspoons olive oil
1 (16 ounce) package cold, prepared pizza dough
4 ounces provolone cheese, diced
3/4 cup cooked, crumbled Italian sausage
1/2 cup cooked, diced sweet peppers
4 ounces mozzarella cheese, grated
1/2 cup prepared pizza sauce
3/4 cup freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese

Instructions

Here's the rewritten recipe in English, differing by at least 30%:

Gather all necessary ingredients and prepare your workspace. Preheat the oven to a high temperature of 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius). Make sure to generously lubricate a standard 12-cup muffin tin with 2 teaspoons of oil.

Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to achieve a thickness of 1/8 inch. Carefully lift the dough from the edges to ensure it's not adhering to the surface, then cut out 12 identical circles. If necessary, re-roll the dough to obtain all 12 circles.

Carefully position each circle into a prepared muffin cup, making sure it's centered. Press and push the dough upwards to cover the sides of the cups, leaving a small gap between the top and the cup. Once all circles have been placed in the muffin pan, perform a final round of pressing and pushing to secure them in place.

Add 1 tablespoon of provolone cheese, followed by 1 tablespoon of cooked sausage and 2 teaspoons of cooked peppers to each cup. Gently press down on the fillings to compress them, then top with 1 rounded tablespoon of mozzarella cheese and 2 tablespoons of pizza sauce; make sure the sauce is evenly distributed.

Sprinkle a generous amount of Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese over the top of each muffin.

Place the muffins in the preheated oven, positioning them in the center of the oven. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until the tops are beautifully browned.

Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for 10 to 15 minutes. Use a knife to loosen the edges of each muffin, then use a fork or small spatula to carefully remove them from the pan.

Allow the muffins to cool on a rack for a few minutes before garnishing with parsley and serving.
