Pizza Bites
Description
Pizza Bites bring together a simple dough of self-rising flour and Greek yogurt tossed with olive oil, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, mozzarella cheese, fresh basil, and olives. The dough remains rustic in texture but is packed with flavorful ingredients. Baking them in a greased muffin tin at 400°F melts the cheese and crisps the edges of the crust while keeping a tender interior. The bite-size pieces make them easy to eat with hands and enjoy with pizza sauce on the side for dipping.
The combination of fresh basil and olives with the cheese adds brightness and savory complexity to the dough's mild base. This snack fits well as a casual bite during gatherings, an after-school treat, or a quick snack for lunchboxes.
For convenience, extra pizza bites can be prepared ahead and stored for easy snacks or packed lunches. They reheat well and maintain their flavor and texture.
Ingredients
- cooking spray
- 2 cups self-rising flour
- 1 cup Greek yogurt full fat
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- salt
- black pepper
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese shredded
- ½ cup basil chopped, fresh
- ¼ cup olives sliced
- pizza sauce for dipping
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F and spray a muffin tin with cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, combine the flour and Greek yogurt until it forms a shaggy consistency.
- Transfer the dough ball to a flat surface and form into a ball (the dough won’t be smooth). Cut into 36-48 small pieces. Transfer the dough pieces to a large bowl, drizzle with olive oil and toss to combine. Season with Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt and pepper, then add mozzarella cheese, basil and olives and toss to combine.
- Divide the dough mixture into the prepared muffin tin and bake for 15 minutes, until the cheese has melted and the crust becomes golden.
Notes
- Use a well-sprayed muffin tin to prevent sticking and ease removal of pizza bites.
- Making extra portions is ideal for packing into school lunches or quick snacks.
