Pepperoni Pizza Bites: The Ultimate Easy Recipe.

Print Recipe

These Pepperoni Pizza Bites are golden, bite-sized pockets of dough stuffed with melted mozzarella, savory pepperoni, and Italian spices. Perfect as a quick snack, party appetizer, or kid-friendly meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 package (1 lb) refrigerated pizza dough
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup sliced pepperoni
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
  • Marinara sauce, for dipping

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
  2. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a 1/4-inch thick rectangle and cut into 2x2 inch squares (approx. 12-16 squares).
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine mozzarella, pepperoni, Parmesan, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes.
  4. Place a tablespoon of the mixture in the center of each dough square.
  5. Fold the corners over the filling and pinch the edges tightly to seal.
  6. Place bites seam-side down on the baking sheet and brush the tops with the beaten egg.
  7. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes until puffed and golden brown.
  8. Cool for a few minutes and serve warm with marinara sauce.

Notes

  • Ensure the edges are pinched tightly to prevent cheese from leaking.
  • For a crispier crust, you can spray the tops with a little olive oil instead of egg wash.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
