Description
These cheesy crust pizza snacks are a fun and delicious treat that will impress your guests with their melty cheese and flavorful crust.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 roll of refrigerated pizza dough (14 ounces)
- 24 pepperoni slices
- 8 cheese sticks, mozzarella
- 4 tablespoons melted butter, unsalted
- 1 teaspoon oregano, dried
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons parmesan, finely grated
- Optional: pizza sauce for dipping
Instructions
- Turn your oven to 400°F. Cover a tray with foil, then coat it lightly with cooking spray.
- Take the cheese sticks out of their wrappers. Slice each one into three equal sections.
- In a small dish, mix parmesan with garlic powder and oregano.
- Pop open the dough container and spread the crust flat on your work surface. Cut it into 24 even-sized portions.
- Set one cheese piece in the center of each dough piece. Wrap the dough securely around the cheese and seal the edges. Line them up seam-side down on the baking tray.
- Brush the dough rolls with melted butter. Sprinkle on the seasoning mixture, then press one slice of pepperoni onto the top of each.
- Put the tray in the oven and bake for about 10-12 minutes, or until they turn golden.
- Serve hot and pair with pizza sauce for dipping, if you’d like.
Notes
- Make sure to seal the edges of the dough well to prevent leakage during baking.
- These snacks can be prepared ahead of time and frozen before baking for a quick appetizer later.
- Feel free to customize with other toppings like sliced olives or jalapeños.
