Ingredients
-
1 can refrigerated pizza dough
-
16 mozzarella cheese cubes
-
16 pepperoni slices
-
1 tablespoon olive oil or melted butter (for brushing)
-
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning or garlic powder (optional)
-
Marinara or pizza sauce, for dipping
Directions
1️⃣ Preheat & Prep
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
2️⃣ Cut the Dough
Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface. Cut into 16 equal squares.
3️⃣ Stuff the Bites
Place one mozzarella cube and one pepperoni slice in the center of each dough square. Fold the dough around the filling, pinching the edges tightly to seal and form a ball.
4️⃣ Brush & Season
Place the pizza bites seam-side down on the baking sheet. Brush tops with olive oil or melted butter. Sprinkle with Italian seasoning or garlic powder, if using.
5️⃣ Bake
Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the bites are puffed, golden brown, and cooked through.
6️⃣ Serve
Let cool slightly before serving. Serve warm with marinara or pizza sauce for dipping.
