Pizza Bites Recipe
Description
This Pizza Bites Recipe uses pizza dough shaped into small circles, each filled with mozzarella and chopped pepperoni, then sealed to create bite-sized rolls. Brushed with olive oil and dusted with garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and Parmesan cheese before baking at 400°F, the dough crisps and browns while the cheese melts inside, creating a satisfying contrast between soft, melty filling and a golden crust.
The bites highlight the traditional pizza combination of mozzarella and pepperoni, while the seasoning on top adds an aromatic layer reminiscent of pizza crust spices. Served with warmed pizza sauce, these small, handheld treats make for easy serving at gatherings or snacks.
They're baked in a single layer in a baking dish to ensure even cooking and a nicely browned exterior. The dough is divided into equal pieces for uniform size and cooking time, making them consistent in texture.
Ingredients
- 1 pound pizza dough
- 8 ounces mozzarella cheese cut into 16 cubes, or shredded
- 3 ounces pepperoni chopped, sliced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 2 tablespoons Parmesan Cheese grated
- pizza sauce for serving
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F and spray a 9x9 baking dish with non-stick spray, set aside.
- Divide dough into 16 pieces. Roll each out into a ¼ inch thick circle.
- Add equal parts cheese and pepperoni into the center of each circle. Pinch together the corners of the dough and create a ball.
- Place the balls, seam side down, into the prepared baking dish.
- After all the balls have been made and are in the dish, brush the tops with olive oil and sprinkled on garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and Parmesan cheese.
- Bake for about 20 minutes or until the dough is fully cooked and the rolls are golden brown.
- Serve with warmed pizza sauce for dipping.
