Ingredients

  • 1 refrigerated pizza dough
  • 1 ½ cup mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup marinara or pizza sauce
  • 1 TBS olive oil for cooking
  • pinch of salt
  • 1 tsp. Italian seasoning
  • grated parmesan cheese (sprinkle on top)
  • toppings of choice; pepperoni, mushrooms, olives, pineapple, ham, ect.

Instructions

  • On a floured surface, roll out the pizza dough to about ¼-inch thickness. Cut the dough into small squares, roughly 2x2 inches each. You should get about 24 squares, depending on the size of your dough.
  • Add mozzarella cheese and a few pieces of your chosen toppings. Be careful not to overfill!
  • Fold each dough square over the filling to form a small pocket. Pinch the edges together to seal, then gently roll each pocket in your hands to shape it into a ball. Sprinkle the dough balls with a pinch of salt before cooking.
  • In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. You want enough oil to lightly coat the bottom of the skillet.
  • Place the sealed pizza bites seam-side down in the skillet. Cover and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. You may need to do this in batches, depending on the size of your skillet.
  • Once cooked, remove the pizza bites from the skillet and place them on a plate. Sprinkle with Italian seasoning and a little grated Parmesan cheese, if desired.
  • Serve warm with extra marinara sauce for dipping.
