Ingredients
- 14 ounces uncooked pizza dough (homemade or store bought)
- 1 cup shredded Mozzarella cheese
- ¼ cup pepperoni
- 2 TBS butter (melted)
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp dried parsley
- ½ cup Pizza Sauce (optional for dipping)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F. Line a large sheet with parchment paper.
- Roll the pizza dough into a large rectangle-- about ⅛” thick.
- Sprinkle the mozzarella and pepperonis (or whatever toppings you like) evenly over half of the dough.
- Fold the half of the pizza dough without the toppings over the half with the toppings and press the edges to seal them together.
- Cut the dough into ½-inch strips. Twist the strips and then place them at least 2-inches apart on the parchment lined baking sheet.
- Bake the twists in a preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the dippers are starting to turn golden brown.
- In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, garlic powder, and dried parsley. Use a pastry brush to brush the dippers evenly with melted butter.
- Serve warm with your favorite pizza sauce for dipping.

Notes
- Switch up the toppings! I like the classic pepperoni and cheese but tons of different toppings will work – olives, sausage, mushrooms, etc. I would stay away from anything that’s going to be too liquidy (e.g., pineapple) but anything else should work.
- Store baked pizza twists in an airtight container in the fridge for up to five days.
- Freeze pizza twists by placing in a freezer safe airtight container (like a gallon-size plastic zipper bag) and freezing for up to three months. Reheat in the oven until warm.
