MINI PIZZA WRAPPERS
You can make mini pizzas on tortillas, bagels, pita, english muffins, and store-bought prepared bread dough, but what about using little gyoza or won ton wrappers?? This is a tasty, healthy, kid-friendly alternative that can be low-fat to fat-packed depending on how you top them. This is more an "idea" than a "recipe", but it was so easy and tasty I thought I'd share it for those of you who aren't already enjoying these little morsels. Deep-dishers beware: this produces the thinnest of thin crusts!

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Spray a pizza stone, cast iron skillet, or other low-profile, oven-proof dish lightly with cooking spray.
- Arrange rows of wrappers in a single layer on the oven-proof dish.
- Put 1 T of pizza sauce on the center of each wrapper, and spread around, leaving about 1/4 inch of"crust" showing.
- Place about 1 tsp of cheese on top of the sauce, followed by 1 tsp of whatever topping (s) you've selected; to keep it low fat, we used part-skim mozzarella, and turkey pepperoni with great results.
- Bake in preheated oven for about 6-7 minutes, or until cheese is bubbly and lightly browned, and the"crust" is golden.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Spray a 24-cup mini muffin tin with cooking spray.
- Roll pizza dough on a lightly floured surface into a 12x18-inch rectangle. Use a pizza cutter to slice dough into 24 squares. Place mozzarella cheese and pepperoni slices on each square; you'll need to be able to enclose the toppings in the dough so keep that in mind. Carefully lift up each square and wrap dough around toppings. Pinch to seal shut and place seam-side down in the prepared muffin cups.
- Brush the tops of the dough balls with olive oil, then sprinkle with Italian seasoning and garlic powder. Top with Parmesan cheese.
- Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown on top, about 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, heat marinara sauce in a saucepan over medium-low heat.
- Remove pizza "cupcakes" from the oven and serve with warm marinara on the side for dipping.

- Use High-Quality Ingredients: Select fresh vegetables, flavorful cheeses, and quality meats to elevate the taste of your mini pizza wrappers.
- Don't Overstuff the Wrappers: Be mindful not to overfill the wrappers, as this can make them difficult to seal and may cause them to burst during baking.
- Seal the Wrappers Properly: Use a fork or your fingers to firmly seal the edges of the wrappers, ensuring the fillings are securely enclosed.
- Bake Until Golden Brown: Keep an eye on the mini pizza wrappers while baking. Remove them from the oven once they have reached a golden brown color, indicating that they are cooked through.
