FIVE-CHEESE PIZZA CUPCAKES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Use the oil to lightly grease the cups of two 12-cup muffin tins.
• Take pizza dough and put enough in each cup to cover the bottom and 1/3 to 1/2 up the sides. Sprinkle garlic salt over top, then spoon 1 tablespoon sauce onto each crust.
• Layer toppings on the sauce: pepperoni, bell pepper, and onion. Add about 1 tablespoon Mexican cheese to each and continue layering toppings: salami, more bell pepper, and more pepperoni. Add a layer of mozzarella cheese and Cheddar cheese. Continue layering toppings until muffin cups are slightly overfull; the toppings should not overflow during cooking, they will settle into the tin.
