What's Cooking in the Kitchen? Pizza Bites!

pizza bites, cooking, baking

Back to the kitchen I go! Seriously...cooking and baking have been a great escape for me during this time period. My boys LOVE this recipe (thanks Pillsbury!)

Ingredients

2 cans (13.8 oz each) Pillsbury™ refrigerated classic pizza crust

8oz mozzarella cheese, cut into 48 cubes

48 slices pepperoni (3 oz) Save $

1/4 cup olive or vegetable oil

1 1/2 teaspoons dried Italian seasoning

2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

1 jar (14 oz) pizza sauce, heated

 

 

Steps:

Heat oven to 400°F. Spray two 9-inch pie pans or one 13x9-inch pan with nonstick cooking spray. Remove dough from both cans. Unroll dough; starting at center, press out each dough rectangle with hands to form 12x8-inch rectangle. Cut each rectangle into 24 squares.

 

Top each square with cheese cube and pepperoni slice. Wrap dough around filling to completely cover; firmly press edges to seal. Place seam side down with sides touching in sprayed pie pans.

 

In small bowl, combine oil and Italian seasoning; mix well. Drizzle over filled dough in pans. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.

 

Bake at 400°F. for 16 to 22 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm pizza bites with warm pizza sauce.

 

ENJOY!!!
