Stuffed Crust Pizza Snacks (Printer-Friendly)

Bite-sized snacks with gooey cheese centers, golden dough, and savory toppings. Perfect for gatherings or quick treats.

# List of Ingredients:

→ Dough and Cheese

01 - 1 can (13.8 oz) refrigerated pizza crust dough
02 - 8 sticks full fat mozzarella string cheese (each stick cut into 3 pieces)

→ Toppings and Seasonings

03 - 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
04 - 1 teaspoon dried oregano
05 - 1 teaspoon garlic powder
06 - 1/3 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
07 - 24 slices regular pepperoni

→ Optional for Serving

08 - 1 cup pizza sauce, warmed for dipping

# Preparation Steps:

01 - Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil and lightly coat with nonstick cooking spray.
02 - Slice each mozzarella string cheese stick into three equal pieces. In a small bowl, combine dried oregano, garlic powder, and grated parmesan cheese.
03 - Unroll pizza dough onto a clean work surface. Use a sharp knife or pizza cutter to cut into 24 equal squares.
04 - Place one piece of string cheese in the center of each dough square. Fold the dough tightly around the cheese and pinch the seams to seal. Place each roll seam side down on the prepared baking sheet.
05 - Brush each dough ball with melted butter. Sprinkle the parmesan-oregano-garlic seasoning mixture generously over each. Press lightly to adhere. Place a slice of pepperoni on top of each roll.
06 - Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes until the dough is golden brown and the cheese is melted inside.
07 - Let snacks cool for one minute on the tray to set. Serve warm with pizza sauce for dipping.

# Additional Suggestions:

01 - Cut dough pieces uniformly so all snacks bake evenly for consistent texture and appearance.
02 - Pinch seams firmly to prevent cheese leakage during baking.
03 - Brushing with butter after baking adds extra sheen and flavor.
04 - For vegetarian snacks, omit or replace pepperoni with plant-based slices.
05 - Store leftovers refrigerated in an airtight container; reheat in a 350°F oven for best crispness.
