Enjoy your homemade Cheesy Pepperoni Pizza Bites!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 can refrigerated pizza dough
- 24 slices pepperoni
- 24 small cubes mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Grated Parmesan cheese (for topping)
- Marinara sauce (for dipping)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Prepare Dough: Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface. Cut into 24 even pieces.
- Assemble Bites: Place a slice of pepperoni on each dough piece. Add a cube of mozzarella on top of the pepperoni. Wrap the dough around the pepperoni and cheese, pinching edges to seal well.
- Season: Mix olive oil, Italian seasoning, and garlic powder in a small bowl. Brush each dough ball with the seasoned oil.

- Finish: Remove from oven and sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese. Serve warm with marinara sauce for dipping.
Notes
- Sealing: Ensure the dough is properly sealed to prevent cheese from leaking out during baking.
- Customize: Add your favorite toppings like olives or jalapeños inside the dough for added flavor.
- Cheese Variety: Try different cheeses such as cheddar or provolone for a unique taste.
- Reheating: Reheat leftovers in an oven to retain the crispiness.
