Ingredients
Method
- Cut the pizza dough into small pieces and roll them into little balls. They don’t need to match in size.
- Mix the melted butter, minced garlic, and Italian seasoning in a bowl. Toss the dough balls in the mixture until coated.
- Grease a muffin tin and add 5–7 dough balls to each square.
- Top each section with shredded mozzarella and chopped pepperoni.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F for 15–18 minutes until golden and bubbly.
- Serve warm with pizza sauce on the side for dipping.
Notes
- You can prepare the dough balls and butter mixture ahead of time and assemble just before baking.
- For extra flavor, sprinkle Parmesan on top before baking.
- Use a silicone muffin tin for easier removal of the pizza bites.
