Ingredients
1Pizza doughI use store-bought refrigerated or half batch of my homemade Perfect Pizza Crust dough
201-inch cubesmozzarella cheese(chop up a block of mozzarella or cut up string cheese)
40slicespepperoni
For topping:
olive oil
Italian seasoning
grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400˚F. Lightly grease a 9-inch pie plate or cake pan. Divide the pizza dough into roughly 20 equal sized pieces. Take one of the dough pieces and press in a cube of cheese and two slices of pepperoni. Pull the edges of the dough down around the filling and seal. Place in the pan, seam side down. Repeat with remaining dough. Each piece of dough should be touching each other in the pan. (It may seem crowded, but will be fine.)
Lightly brush the tops of the dough with olive oil. Sprinkle on Italian seasoning and Parmesan cheese. Bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm or at room temperature, with dipping sauce if desired.
