Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (16.3 ounce) can refrigerated biscuit dough
- 1/2 cup pizza sauce
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup mini pepperoni slices
- 1 tablespoon melted butter
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper.
- Separate the biscuit dough into individual biscuits. Flatten each biscuit slightly with your hands or a rolling pin to create a thin circle.
- Place about 1 teaspoon of pizza sauce in the center of each flattened biscuit.
- Top the sauce with a small amount of mozzarella cheese and 2-3 mini pepperoni slices.
- Fold the edges of the biscuit dough up and over the filling, pinching the seams tightly to seal the filling inside and form a ball. Ensure the seal is complete to prevent leakage.
- Place the sealed pizza bites seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
- In a small bowl, mix the melted butter, garlic powder, and dried oregano. Brush this mixture evenly over the tops of the pizza bites.
- Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the bites are golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving. Serve warm with extra pizza sauce for dipping.
Notes
- For extra flavor, brush the tops with melted garlic butter after baking instead of before.
- If you prefer a different topping, substitute the pepperoni with cooked, crumbled sausage or finely chopped cooked vegetables.
- This recipe works well with store-bought puff pastry if you prefer a flakier texture instead of soft biscuit dough.
