Stuffed Pizza Bites

These garlicky, cheesy little pizza dough balls are filled with all of the yummy toppings you'd put on a pizza.

Ingredients

  • 2 (13-7/8 oz) cans refrigerated prepared pizza dough
  • 8 oz mozzarella cheese block, cut into 48 cubes
  • 48 slices pepperoni
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1 tsp dried Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 3 Tbsp Parmesan cheese, grated
  • 2 cups pizza (or marinara) sauce, heated

Directions

Preheat oven to 400°F. Spray three 9" pie pans with cooking spray.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out one pizza crust and pat into a 12" x 8" rectangle. Cut into 24 squares.
Place one pepperoni slice and one cube of cheese on each dough square. Wrap dough around, pressing to seal. Place the filled squares into the pan, seam side down. Repeat with remaining dough, pepperoni, and cheese.
Mix together oil, Italian seasoning, and garlic powder. Drizzle or brush over rolls and top with grated Parmesan. Bake at 400°F for 16-20 minutes or until golden brown.
Serve with warmed pizza or marinara sauce.

Cook's Notes

Substitute Italian turkey sausage instead of pepperoni for a healthier version.
