Pizza Bites
I told you I was back :) It feels good to be back in my kitchen-even if it is entirely too small and my oven is almost completely broken. I've recently become addicted to pinterest (visit the link if you want to see my boards). I have seen tons of great recipes on there and finally decided to actually "do" my pins instead of simply looking at them.
Ingredients (adapted from here):
-Once dough has risen for about 2 hours, begin forming small balls of equal size. Place your mozzarella cheese and pepperoni in the center of each piece of dough. I found some mozzarella/pepperoni in one which made this process so much easier (and prettier).
-Cover the cheese and pepperoni with all 4 sides of the dough until you can't see anything but dough. It should look like a ball.

I had an onlooker the entire time! Ollie was hoping I would drop something. I may or may not have "accidentally" dropped a few pieces of cheese (shh, don't tell Jeff. He hates when I feed him "people food" treats!)
-Once the bites are finished being assembled, place them in a greased pie pan, next to one another. Brush the bites with olive oil and top with Italian seasoning, garlic powder and a bit of Parmesan cheese.
-Bake in the oven for 20 minutes at 400 degrees, or until they are browned. I probably filled mine with a bit too much cheese considering it oozed out all of the bottom of the pie pan :/ The pan is currently sitting in the sink soaking and I am hoping it will be an easy clean after a few hours of soaking!
These are a great appetizer for a party! I'm sure kids would love them too. Jeff is at class now but knows these are waiting for him at home :) I'm off to edit some pictures and wait for my hubby to get here. Enjoy your night!
