Ingredients
- 1 pound pizza dough refrigerated
- 1 egg whisked with 1 tablespoon of water
- 1 pound mozzarella cheese cut into 1-inch cubes - you will need 33 cubes

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.

- On a floured surface, divide the pizza dough into two pieces. Take one piece, stretch it and roll it into a long rectangle, then cut dough into 2” squares.
- Repeat with the other piece, in total, you will need 33 dough squares.
- Place a mozzarella cube in the center of each square and wrap the dough around the cheese, forming a tightly sealed ball.

- Brush the dough balls with the egg mixture and bake until golden, 15 to 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a small bowl whisk together melted butter, Parmesan cheese, and herbs. Brush the baked pizza balls with the cheese mixture.
