Preparation time: 15 minutes
Baking time: 30 minutes
Total time: 45 minutes
Number of servings: 12 muffins

Ingredients:
- 2 cups of flour
- 1 packet of baking powder
- 300 g of grated cheese
- 300 g of diced bacon
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 tomatoes, diced
- 1/2 cup of milk
- 1 egg
- 10 pitted olives, sliced
- 3 tablespoons of oil
- 2 tablespoons of a mixture of sweet and hot paprika
- 1 tablespoon of dried oregano
- 3 mushrooms, sliced

Preparation:

1. Preparing the ingredients: Start by preparing all the ingredients. Chop the bacon, onion, tomatoes, and mushrooms, and grate the cheese to integrate it better into the dough. It is important to have everything at hand to facilitate the cooking process.

2. Mixing the dry ingredients: In a large bowl, add the flour, baking powder, salt, grated cheese, bacon, onion, tomatoes, and mushrooms. Gently mix all the dry ingredients so that they combine evenly. This base will form the dough for the muffins.

3. Preparing the liquid: In another bowl, beat the egg with a fork. Add the milk and top up with water until you have one cup of liquid. This combination will add moisture to the dough and make it fluffier.

4. Combining the ingredients: Pour the liquid mixture over the dry ingredients and gently mix with a spatula or wooden spoon until you obtain a homogeneous composition. Be careful not to overmix, as the muffins may become dense.

5. Preparing the molds: Grease the heat-resistant molds or muffin tins with oil. This step is essential to prevent the muffins from sticking to the molds. Then, line them with the paprika and oregano mixture. This will not only add a delicious flavor but also give a beautiful color to the muffins.

6. Filling the molds: Pour the obtained mixture into the molds, filling them to about 2/3 of their capacity. On top, add slices of olives and the remaining mushroom slices for an appetizing look and extra flavor.

7. Baking: Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius. Place the molds in the oven and bake for 30 minutes, or until they are golden and fluffy. You can check if they are done by inserting a toothpick in the center; if it comes out clean, the muffins are baked.

8. Serving: After removing them from the oven, let them cool for a few minutes in the molds, then carefully remove them and serve with ketchup or your favorite sauce. These mini pizzas are perfect warm, but they can also be enjoyed cold, making them ideal for picnics or informal gatherings.

Practical tips:
- You can replace bacon with ham or cooked chicken for a lighter option.
- If you want a vegetarian version, you can omit the bacon and add more vegetables, such as peppers or zucchini.
- These muffins keep well in the fridge for 2-3 days, and to reheat them, you can use a microwave or an oven to regain their crispy texture.

Nutritional benefits: These pizza muffins are rich in protein due to the cheese and bacon, while the vegetables add essential fiber and vitamins. The flour provides carbohydrates that will give you the necessary energy for an active day.

Frequently asked questions:
1. Can I use whole wheat flour? Yes, you can replace white flour with whole wheat flour for a healthier option, but you may need to adjust the amount of liquid.
2. What other ingredients can I add? You have complete freedom in choosing the ingredients! You can add olives, peppers, spinach, or even spices like garlic powder for a more intense flavor.
3. How can I serve these muffins? These mini pizzas are excellent as appetizers, snacks between meals, or even as part of a main meal. You can pair them with a fresh salad or a yogurt sauce for a refreshing contrast.

Possible variations: Instead of cheese, you can try mozzarella for a more elastic texture. You can also add spices like basil or rosemary for an extra flavor boost.

In conclusion, muffin-shaped pizza is a versatile and delicious recipe that can be adapted according to your preferences. With a little creativity, you can transform each preparation into a new culinary wonder. Don't hesitate to experiment and put your personal touch on the recipe. Enjoy your meal!
