I'm always looking for a new, EASY appetizer to take to different parties. This one is very simple and yummy! I haven't tried doing it yet, but I think you could use Bisquick instead of the flour and baking powder.

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.

Tips:

For a crispier crust, brush the pizza dough with olive oil before baking.
To make the pizza puffs ahead of time, assemble them and freeze them unbaked. When ready to bake, thaw them overnight in the refrigerator and then bake them according to the recipe instructions.
If you don't have pizza dough, you can use refrigerated crescent roll dough or puff pastry dough.
Feel free to get creative with the fillings. You can add other ingredients like cooked chicken, vegetables, or cheese.
Serve the pizza puffs with your favorite dipping sauce, such as marinara sauce, ranch dressing, or blue cheese dressing.

Conclusion:

Pepperoni sausage pizza puffs are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or snack that is perfect for parties or game day. They are also a great way to use up leftover pizza dough. With just a few simple ingredients, you can make these tasty treats that are sure to be a hit with everyone.
