Pizzzzzzzzaaaaa!!! yummy pepperoni pizza bites

So awhile back I had shared an amazingly easy pizza dough recipe! I am hooked and have been making that my main go-to recipe for anything using pizza dough, it's home-made, inexpensive to make and doesn't require a lot of time! all A+  in my mind!!!
So I came across this recipe and had bookmarked it to try a month ago (that's how long it takes to get to something *sigh*) these pizza bites are über easy and really really good...addicting good and most importantly  the kids LOVE it, even more than the store bought ones! and anything that my kids give the two thumbs up for is a blessing ;-)
so here is my recipe that...yes...again I found it on Annie's eats ;-) but there is a great monkey bread version of these on the confections of a foodie bride...go try them you will be hooked just like us and it takes the same amount of time as buying them from the store. The pizza dough can be made ahead of time and stored in the freezer without problems, just pull it out and let thaw, then whip up these bad boys and voila!
Click here for the pizza dough recipe. Be creative and make different variations ;-) like maybe add some cooked sausage, green peppers, switch up the cheese...add mushrooms,olives, bacon!? whatever you're favorite toppings are ;-) be creative!

Pull off a a small piece of dough a little smaller than a golf-ball

Flatten out the dough

Put pepperoni (however much you want) and mozzarella square in the middle of the dough

Pull the dough over the pepperoni and cheese and squeeze the seams together to close, make sure there are no holes

Form it into a ball and place it into your greased glass pie pan

Brush on olive oil mixed with Italian spices and garlic, top it off with fresh grated Parmesan

Bake in a pre-heated oven at 450 for 15-20 min or until it's lightly browned

The pizza bites pull apart really easy ;-)

Yummy cheesy/pepperoni goodness!

Even Chunky here loved them ;-)
