Cheese and Pepperoni Pizza Bites image

Skip the slice in favor of a quick and easy recipe for pizza bites stuffed with cheese and pepperoni and dunked in marinara sauce.

Provided by Kelly Senyei

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 pound homemade or store-bought pizza dough, at room temp
Flour, for rolling out dough
1/2 cup homemade or store-bought marinara sauce, plus more for serving
1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1 cup sliced pepperoni
1 large egg
3 Tablespoons shredded Parmesan cheese
Dried oregano or pizza seasoning

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375ºF. Grease a 9-inch cake pan with cooking spray.
  • Lightly flour your work surface then divide the dough into 19 equal portions. Roll each piece of dough into a small circle about 3 inches in size. Add 1 to 2 teaspoons of marinara sauce into the center of each piece of dough then sprinkle the marinara with a small portion of the cheese and one slice of pepperoni. Pull all of the sides up to meet in the center, firmly pinching to seal the fillings inside the dough pocket. Repeat the filling and sealing process with the remaining pieces of dough.
  • Beginning in the center, arrange the filled dough balls seam side down in a single layer in the prepared pan. (Do not overlap the dough balls.)
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the egg with 1 tablespoon water. Brush the eggwash all over the tops of the dough balls then sprinkle the Parmesan cheese on top.
  • Bake for 25 to 27 minutes until golden brown and bubbly. (You can check if the dough is fully baked by lifting one piece to see if the bottom has browned slightly.) Remove the pizza bites from the oven, sprinkle the tops with the dried oregano and serve with additional marinara sauce for dipping.

PEPPERONI PIZZA BITES WITH HOMEMADE MARINARA SAUCE



Pepperoni Pizza Bites with Homemade Marinara Sauce image

Provided by Valerie Bertinelli

Categories     appetizer

Time 1h25m

Yield 24 pizza bites

Number Of Ingredients 17

Extra-virgin olive oil
1 pound refrigerated pizza dough
2 tablespoons minced garlic (about 2 large cloves)
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
All-purpose flour, for dusting
6 ounces sliced pepperoni
2 1/2 to 3 cups shredded low-moisture mozzarella (about 12 ounces)
Marinara Sauce, for serving, recipe follows
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup finely diced yellow onion (about 1/2 small onion)
1 teaspoon kosher salt
2 teaspoons minced garlic (about 2 large cloves)
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
Pinch crushed red pepper
One 26-ounce box chopped tomatoes, such as Pomi

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with foil and lightly grease the foil with olive oil. Remove the pizza dough from the refrigerator and let sit at room temperature for 30 minutes.
  • In a small bowl combine the garlic, Parmesan, parsley and 1/4 cup olive oil. Set aside.
  • Lightly dust a work surface with flour and roll out the pizza dough into a 12-by-14-inch rectangle. Arrange the dough with the 14-inch side parallel to you. With a ruler, mark every 4 inches along the 12-inch side. Cut the dough straight across at the marks to make three 4-inch-wide strips. Brush top of the strips with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Shingle the pepperoni slices over the dough strips. Sprinkle 3/4 to 1 cup of the mozzarella in a line down the center of each strip.
  • Roll up each dough strip into a long log, as you would for cinnamon rolls. It is easiest to begin by folding the bottom of the dough up over the cheese; if there is any cheese sticking out, stuff it back into the roll. Continue rolling the dough over itself until it forms a log with dough on the outside and all of the pepperoni and mozzarella on the inside. Pinch the seams together, then pinch the sides together. Lightly brush the logs all over with olive oil and transfer them, seam-side down, to the prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake until golden brown, 12 minutes. Brush the tops of the logs generously with the garlic mixture and return to the oven for another 3 minutes, until the garlic is very fragrant but not yet browned. Let cool for 10 minutes.
  • Transfer the pepperoni rolls to a cutting board and slice into 1 1/2-inch pieces. Serve immediately with marinara sauce.
  • Heat the olive oil over medium heat in a medium saucepot. Add the onions and salt and saute until softened, 2 minutes. Add the garlic and cook an additional 30 seconds until fragrant but not browned. Stir in the tomato paste, oregano and crushed red pepper; cook 30 seconds to toast the tomato paste and spices. Stir in the chopped tomatoes. Bring the sauce to a boil, reduce the heat to medium low and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring often. Remove from the heat and adjust the seasoning with salt to taste. Keep warm until ready to serve, or cool completely and refrigerate in an airtight container.
