PEPPERONI PIZZA PUFFS

Pizza seems like a great party food, but it can be a little messy and also gets cold fast. One year, for a birthday party for one of the cousins, my brother-in-law Joey, who's always been a creative problem solver, had the idea to make pizza puffs, putting the filling inside the dough, in a sort of mini-calzone. As with pizza, you can change the filling, replacing the pepperoni with sausage or vegetables, such as sauteed mushrooms.

Time 40m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

One 16-ounce ball frozen pizza dough (see Chef's Note), thawed in the refrigerator for 6 hours, then left out to rise in oiled bowl, covered with plastic wrap, at room temperature for 2 hours
All-purpose flour, for dusting
1/2 cup shredded or fresh sliced mozzarella
24 thin slices pepperoni
1 jarred red pepper, drained and cut into 1 1/2-inch strips
About 2 tablespoons olive oil

Steps:

Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
Cut the dough into 8 equal pieces. Using floured hands if needed, carefully stretch each piece into a thin disk (the shape doesn't have to be perfect) about 5 inches in diameter.
Transfer the dough balls to the prepared baking sheet and fill each with 1/2 tablespoon mozzarella on one half, leaving a 1-inch border around the edge. Line the cheese with 3 slices pepperoni, and a strip of red pepper. Starting from the smaller border, stretch the dough over the filling, then continue rolling the dough (like you would roll a carpet) to wrap the filling twice. Place on a foil-lined baking sheet, seam-side down. Pinch any holes with your fingers to patch.
Brush the dough with a very light coating of olive oil. Bake until golden-brown, 15 to 17 minutes, then remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

3 can(s) (10 count) grands jr. homestyle buttermilk biscuits (not flaky layers)
1 jar(s) ragu garlic parmesan cheese sauce
1 pkg (8 oz)kraft pizza shredded cheese
1 pkg hormel sliced pepperoni
1 egg, beaten
parmesan cheese
italian seasoning
marinara or pizza sauce for dipping

Steps:

6. Layer two more pepperoni slices (slightly offset) on top of shredded cheese.
7. Fold up the edges of the biscuit and pinch to seal.

12. Serve with Marinara or Pizza sauce for dipping.

Tips:

Use store-bought pizza dough or make your own using your favorite recipe.
Grate your own mozzarella cheese for the best flavor and texture. Pre-shredded cheese contains cellulose, which can make it less melty and gooey.
Be generous with the toppings. The more pepperoni, cheese, and other toppings you add, the more flavorful and delicious your pizza puffs will be.
Don't overcrowd the baking sheet. Leave some space between the pizza puffs so they have room to rise and puff up.
Bake the pizza puffs until they are golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly. This will take about 10-12 minutes.
Serve the pizza puffs immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.

Pepperoni pizza puffs are a quick, easy, and delicious snack or appetizer that everyone will love. They're perfect for game day, parties, or just a casual get-together.
