POPable Pizza Bites

If you haven’t figured out from reading my prior posts, I use my pizza dough recipe for everything.  For our baby shower, my sister and I decided one of the things we wanted were popable Pizza Bites. Since I am always trying to save money, I automatically knew I would be using my dough instead of buying Pillsbury biscuits that the original recipe used (plus, it’s much healthier).
My recipe for pizza dough is typically divided into 2 sections, one usually frozen for later.  For this recipe, whether you freeze the second ball depends on how many you want to make.  Each ball of dough will make 28 pizza pops. Andrew loves this recipe and has asked for it to be added to our rotation. These pizza bites were a big hit at our baby shower and the kids were all in love with them!
First start with one ball of dough.

Separate into 28 equal sized circles.

I personally find it easiest to separate the original ball into 4 equal pieces then each of those 4 balls, I separate into 7 mini balls as seen below.

Roll each ball into a small circle and layer one slice of pepperoni, a cube of cheese, and another slice of pepperoni on top

Fold up the edges around the filling.

So that it is completely enclosed.

Place each ball seam size down into a 13×9 baking dish

Mix seasoning together.Brush each pizza pop with olive oil

And then sprinkle with seasoning. Cover dish and place in freezer ovenight.

**Tip: using regular pizza dough, it has a tendency to rise more than using canned biscuits. Because of this freezing is optimal in this case.  Even if you can freeze for 30 minutes it will help greatly.  If you cannot wait, you can throw right into the oven and they will still taste amazing, but there will be space in between filling and dough from the dough rising.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Pull out of the oven and remove the cover from the top.  Place dish into the oven for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown. Serve with pizza sauce.

    I can't believe I've never thought of this. I make pizza, pizza wraps, grilled pizza, stromboli or calzones just about every Friday. Our little people will love this just the right size for their hands! Oh and they can still help!! We definitely will be giving these a try.
