Double the dough, double the cheesy goodness! These Pizza Puffs are fun, hand-held bites of gooey mozzarella wrapped in fluffy pizza dough, with a surprise pepperoni center. Baked to golden perfection and brushed with garlicky butter, they’re perfect for parties, snacks, or game-day spreads.
Ingredients
2 loaves (1 lb each) frozen pizza dough, thawed
40 slices pepperoni
16 oz part-skim mozzarella cheese, cut into 40 cubes
1/2 cup butter
4 small garlic cloves, minced
Dash of salt
Marinara sauce, warmed, for dipping
Optional: crushed red pepper flakes, grated Parmesan
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Divide dough into 40 equal pieces.
Flatten each dough piece, place a cube of mozzarella and a pepperoni slice in the center, and pinch edges to seal.
Place seam-side down on baking sheets.
In a small saucepan, melt butter with garlic and a dash of salt.
Brush each puff with garlic butter.
Bake for 12–15 minutes, until golden brown.
Serve warm with marinara and optional red pepper flakes or Parmesan.
