Description
🍕 Stuffed Crust Pizza Snacks make a fun and easy party appetizer with gooey cheese and delicious pepperoni inside a crispy dough.
🎉 Perfect for gatherings, these homemade snacks come together quickly and are great for sharing with friends and family.
Ingredients
– 2 cans refrigerated pizza dough
– 8 oz mozzarella cheese, cut into 48 cubes
– 48 slices pepperoni (3 oz total)
– 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
Instructions
1-Preheat your oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F and spraying two 9-inch pie pans or one 13×9-inch pan with nonstick cooking spray to ensure easy removal later. This preparation sets the stage for a crispy, golden result that everyone will love.
2-Prepare the dough: Next, remove the dough from the cans and unroll it, then press each dough rectangle into a 12×8-inch shape. Cut each rectangle into 24 squares for bite-sized treats that are perfect for parties. Place 1 mozzarella cube and 1 pepperoni slice on each square, then wrap the dough around the filling, sealing the edges firmly to keep everything inside during baking.
3-Bake the snacks: Arrange the filled squares seam side down in the prepared pans, making sure they touch for even cooking. In a small bowl, combine 1/4 cup olive or vegetable oil with 1 1/2 teaspoons dried Italian seasoning, then drizzle it over the dough and sprinkle 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese on top for extra flavor. Bake at 400°F for 16 to 22 minutes until golden brown, and serve warm with the heated 14 oz jar of pizza sauce for dipping.
Notes
🧀 Refrigerated dough makes preparation quick and easy.
🎯 Press dough starting from the center for even thickness.
🔒 Seal edges well to prevent filling from leaking.
