"Pepperoni Pizza Bites"

By ldelmas

1 pkg of pizza dough ( Most grocery stores have it in the dairy case but some sell it in the freezer or if you want a softer bite you can use a frozen white bread dough)

Ingredients

• Pepperoni Pizza Bites
• 1 pkg of pizza dough ( Most grocery stores have it in the dairy case but some sell it in the freezer or if you want a softer bite you can use a frozen white bread dough)
• 1 pkg of sliced pepperoni (I slice each in 9 , 3 slices one way and 3 the other)
• 1 small pkg of shredded mozzarella
• olive oil
• garlic powder
• oregano
• Parmesan cheese
• Makes about 32-40 bites

Preparation

Step 1

-cut the dough in 16 and spread out on counter so they are not touching each other

let rest 30=45 min



-once the dough is soft and pliable I cut the little pieces in half and gently spread with my finger tips



-put a pinch of pepperoni and a pinch of mozzarella in and then I fold opposites sides together both sides and then top and bottom



-put seam side down on a cookie sheet (I use parchment paper because sometimes the cheese leaks)



-after they are all done I let them rest for another 30 min



-Bake at 350 convection oven for about 12 min

-Bake at 375 for conventional oven about 12 min



-they are done when slightly brown and when you tap them they sound hollow



-take out and baste with the olive oil while piping hot.



-sprinkle with oregano garlic and parmesan cheese while the oil is still wet

-I use 2 cookie sheets so they are not crowded



-when cool they freeze well so you can make ahead of time and just heat up before your party and serve with your favorite sauce
