stuffed crust pizza snacks (Print Version)

Bite-sized golden snacks blend gooey cheese, zesty pepperoni, pizza dough, and savory parmesan-herb topping.

# Ingredients:

→ Cheese

01 - 8 sticks mozzarella string cheese
02 - 2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese

→ Dough

03 - 1 can refrigerated pizza dough (14 ounces)

→ Seasonings

04 - 1 teaspoon dried oregano
05 - 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

→ Butter

06 - 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

→ Meat

07 - 24 slices regular pepperoni

→ For Serving

08 - Pizza sauce (optional)

# Steps:

01 - Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and coat with nonstick cooking spray.
02 - Unwrap the mozzarella string cheese sticks and cut each into three equal pieces.
03 - Combine dried oregano, garlic powder, and grated parmesan cheese in a small bowl.
04 - Unroll the refrigerated pizza dough onto a work surface and cut into 24 even pieces.
05 - Place one piece of string cheese in the center of each dough segment. Tightly roll the dough around the cheese, pinching edges to seal, and arrange seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
06 - Brush each dough roll with melted butter. Sprinkle the parmesan and herb mix evenly over the tops and press one slice of pepperoni onto each roll.
07 - Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until the rolls are golden brown.
08 - Serve immediately with warm pizza sauce, if desired.

# Notes:

01 - For best results, ensure the dough is tightly pinched to prevent cheese from leaking during baking.
