Pizza Bites

My family loves Double Kwik pizza rolls but they are way too expensive.  I have tried several different recipes but this one is the closest, and my family loves them.  You can add other ingredients if you want, but we are tradionalists when it comes to pizza rolls.  I hope you enjoy them!

Pizza Bites

makes 48 bites divided into 3 trays, prep 20 min, cook time 20 min

• 2 recipes pizza dough (or 2 cans refrigerated pizza dough)
• 8 oz block mozzarella cheese
• 4 oz thin sliced pepperoni
• 1 tsp Italian seasoning
• 1 tsp Garlic Salt 
• 1/4 cup butter
• 3 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
• pizza or marinara sauce

1. Prepare pizza dough, recipe on my blog, and roughly chop pepperoni. Cut block of mozzarella into 48 cubes.
2. If you are going to bake some (or all!) right away preheat oven to 400°F. Grease 3 pie pans.
3. If using refrigerated pizza dough: roll one dough out into a large rectangle and cut into 24 pieces. Repeat with 2nd pizza dough. If using homemade dough just pinch off walnut sized pieces as you go.
4. In each dough piece place a couple pieces of chopped pepperoni and a cube of cheese. Seal dough around meat and cheese and place seam side down in pie pan.
5. Repeat, placing approximately 16 dough balls in each pie plate.
6. Once assembled, combine butter and spices and brush over the dough. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
7. Now you can cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate or freeze or you can bake right away.
8. When ready to bake: bake at 400°F for 16-20 min. Serve with warm pizza or marinara sauce.
