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

  1. Turn your oven to 400°F. Cover a tray with foil, then coat it lightly with cooking spray.
  2. Take the cheese sticks out of their wrappers. Slice each one into three equal sections.
  3. In a small dish, mix parmesan with garlic powder and oregano.
  4. Pop open the dough container and spread the crust flat on your work surface. Cut it into 24 even-sized portions.
  5. 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.
  6. Brush the dough rolls with melted butter. Sprinkle on the seasoning mixture, then press one slice of pepperoni onto the top of each.
  7. Put the tray in the oven and bake for about 10-12 minutes, or until they turn golden.
  8. 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.
