Pizza Bites

 These were so stinking good and easy to make too, I don't think I will ever make homemade pizza again!  The pictures don't do these justice.  Someday, I will learn to be a food photographer.

Pizza Bites
Recipe Courtesy of: Food, Folks, and Fun, check out her food blog, it is amazing!

1 tube of pizza dough (found in your grocer’s refrigerator section)
4 oz. mozzarella cheese, cubed (about 20-24 pieces)
Sliced pepperoni

For topping:
Olive oil
Italian seasoning
Grated Parmesan cheese

Pizza sauce for dipping

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 400˚ F.  Lightly grease a 9-inch pie plate or cake pan.  Divide the pizza dough into 20-24 roughly equal sized pieces.  Take one of the dough pieces, top with a cube of cheese and a slice or two of pepperoni.  Pull the edges of the dough around the fillings and pinch closed.  Place seam-side down in the baking dish.  Repeat with the remaining dough pieces.

Lightly brush the tops of the dough balls with olive oil.  Sprinkle with Italian seasoning and grated Parmesan cheese.  Bake for 20 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.  Serve warm, with dipping sauce as desired. 

My little kitchen tip of the day:  Sauce Cups

At Easter time, I always buy the Easter egg dye kits that come with the dye cups.  Then after Easter, I wash them out really good and use them for EVERYTHING!  Mainly, we use them for snack cups, but they also come in handy for dinners that require dipping sauce.  Then I can give each kid their own cute little dipping sauce cup!
