Stuffed Pizza Balls




Ingredients:

  • 1 can of refrigerated pizza dough
  • 1 heaping TBS of flour
  • dried oregano
  • dried basil
  • garlic powder
  • onion powder
  • 4 to 6 individually wrapped mozzarella string cheese (cut into 24 pieces)
  • 24 slices of turkey pepperoni
  • 2 TBS olive oil
  • 2 TBS grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 jar of pizza sauce (or you can make your own)

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.  Sprinkle your flour onto a flat surface.  I used a cookie sheet.  Open your dough and place it in the flour.  Roll or pat the dough to form a rectangle that can be cut into 24 equal squares (You can see below that my squares were not equal, and some of the pizza balls were very uneven).  All of the dough should be the same thickness.  Sprinkle as much as you like of the oregano and garlic powder over the dough. Use a pizza cutter to cut the dough into 24 pieces...four cuts vertically and six cuts horizontally.  Place one slice of pepperoni on each square of dough. Top each slice of pepperoni with one piece of the cheese.




Begin to fold in the sides of the squares of dough. 




Pinch all of the sides together after they are folded to seal the dough. 




Place each dough ball pinched/sealed side down into a greased 8 x 8 baking dish. 



Brush the tops of the dough balls with olive oil, then sprinkle the top of the dough with as much oregano, basil, garlic powder, and onion powder as you like.  Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese on top. 




Place into your preheated oven.  Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until pizza balls are golden brown. 




Serve with your favorite pizza sauce.  Enjoy.
