Pizza is so delicious, why not make a pizza version of everything. Like this delicious popcorn, pizza grilled cheese or pizza waffles, they are a fun way to serve classic recipes with a twist!
To Make Popcorn
Popcorn for this recipe can be made however you generally make popcorn. An air popper, stove top popper or even microwave popcorn in a pinch! Never made popcorn on the stove before? No special tools required, simply a very large pot with a lid!
Stove Top Popcorn
For this you’ll need oil that can withstand high heat, such as peanut or coconut oil (my first choice). Olive oil is not the best choice for making popcorn, and neither is butter. Easy peasy and nothing special needed!
How to Make Pepperoni Pizza Popcorn:
Ingredients
Butter: To keep the popcorn from getting soggy, use clarified butter, it’s easy and has the water & milk solids removed for a delicious buttery flavor. Cheese: I’ve tested this with both pre-shredded and freshly shredded mozzarella. Freshly shredded works better and sticks to the popcorn better. Toppings: I use pepperoni but your fave toppings will work here as long as they’re not too wet (no mushrooms or pineapple please). Meats like pepperoni, sausage (cooked and drained) and cheeses are great!
To Make
Pizza Flavored Popcorn
This easy, fun snack can be altered and enhanced with any of your favorite pizza toppings. Try adding basil and using some of the oil from sundried tomatoes for a margherita pizza version. Whatever toppings you choose it is sure to be a delicious treat!
Meats: chopped ham, crumbled bacon, cooked ground beef, or hot Italian sausage crumbled. Fruits & Veggies: black olives, red pepper, or finely chopped sun dried tomatoes. Cheeses: cheddar cheese, marble, or tex-mex cheese blend for extra spice!
Make Ahead
Pizza popcorn is best served fresh and still warm from the oven. Pizza popcorn is so yummy that you probably won’t need to worry about storage. It will disappear into happy, satisfied bellies before you know it!
