Stuffed Pizza Bites

I am very into football season...food.  The games are nice for an excuse to get together with some background noise but no season as better snacks. Case in point: stuffed pizza bites

Stuffed Pizza Bites

• pizza dough - homemade or store bought
• desired pizza toppings and cheese
• 2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• pizza sauce - homemade or store bought

Preheat oven to 400F or whatever temperature is on the pizza dough package. 

Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface until its 12" by 8". Use a pizza cutter to slice into 24 even squares. Place cheese and toppings on each square - make sure not to use too many so the you can close the pizza dough.

Wrap the pizza dough around the toppings and pinch into a ball. Place seam side down in a pie pan sprayed with non-stick spray.

Brush the tops with olive oil then sprinkle garlic powder and Italian seasoning.

Bake for 15 to 20 minutes until the top is golden brown.  Serve warm with warm marinara sauce for dipping.

Note: if you pepperoni other large toppings, quarter them or chop them smaller so the dough will fit over the toppings.
