Stuffed Pizza Bites

We love pizza and there is nothing better for a snacking on while having a movie night at home. We decided to give making pizza bites a try. These are were so easy to make and so delicious that we followed the same method and made pizza pockets just a couple days later.

Ingredients: 1 roll refrigerated pizza dough
marinara/pizza sauce
2 Tbsp. grated Parmesan cheese
1 Tbsp. olive oil or melted butter
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1 tsp. dried Italian seasoning
mozzarella or Italian blend cheese
pizza toppings of your choice (ham and pineapple, pepperoni, sausage, chopped green peppers or onions, etc.)

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to temperature specified on pizza dough package.
2. Unroll your pizza dough onto a lightly-floured surface. Pat or roll the dough so it’s at least 12″ by 8″. Use a pizza cutter to slice the dough into 24 squares. 3. Place cheese and desired toppings on each square. Don't place too much that you will not be able to roll the bites together. 4. When all of your dough squares have cheese and toppings on them, carefully lift up each square and wrap the dough around the toppings. Pinch to make sure each ball is sealed shut and then place seam-side-down in a lightly sprayed pan. 5. Brush the tops of the dough balls with olive oil (or melted butter) and then sprinkle with the garlic and Italian seasoning. Top with Parmesan cheese. 6. Place pan in the oven and cook for about 15-20 minutes or the dough is slightly golden. Doughs vary, so keep an eye on them and begin checking them after 10 minutes. 7. Serve warm with warmed marinara sauce on the side for dipping.

These were so yummy. The seasonings on top really made them delicious. We enjoyed the pockets we made later even more because we could get extra toppings inside.
