PEPPERONI PIZZA PUFFS



Pepperoni Pizza Puffs image

Pizza seems like a great party food, but it can be a little messy and also gets cold fast. One year, for a birthday party for one of the cousins, my brother-in-law Joey, who's always been a creative problem solver, had the idea to make pizza puffs, putting the filling inside the dough, in a sort of mini-calzone. As with pizza, you can change the filling, replacing the pepperoni with sausage or vegetables, such as sauteed mushrooms.

Time 40m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

One 16-ounce ball frozen pizza dough (see Chef's Note), thawed in the refrigerator for 6 hours, then left out to rise in oiled bowl, covered with plastic wrap, at room temperature for 2 hours
All-purpose flour, for dusting
1/2 cup shredded or fresh sliced mozzarella
24 thin slices pepperoni
1 jarred red pepper, drained and cut into 1 1/2-inch strips
About 2 tablespoons olive oil

Steps:

  • Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
  • Cut the dough into 8 equal pieces. Using floured hands if needed, carefully stretch each piece into a thin disk (the shape doesn't have to be perfect) about 5 inches in diameter.
  • Transfer the dough balls to the prepared baking sheet and fill each with 1/2 tablespoon mozzarella on one half, leaving a 1-inch border around the edge. Line the cheese with 3 slices pepperoni, and a strip of red pepper. Starting from the smaller border, stretch the dough over the filling, then continue rolling the dough (like you would roll a carpet) to wrap the filling twice. Place on a foil-lined baking sheet, seam-side down. Pinch any holes with your fingers to patch.
  • Brush the dough with a very light coating of olive oil. Bake until golden-brown, 15 to 17 minutes, then remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Tips:

  • Use a sharp knife. This will help you get clean, even cuts when slicing the pizza dough and pepperoni.
  • Don't overwork the dough. Overworking the dough will make it tough. Just mix it until it comes together, then let it rest for a few minutes before rolling it out.
  • Use a light touch when rolling out the dough. This will help you avoid tearing the dough.
  • Don't overcrowd the baking sheet. Leave some space between the pizza puffs so that they can cook evenly.
  • Bake the pizza puffs until they are golden brown. This will ensure that they are cooked through.
  • Serve the pizza puffs warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
