Time 35m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 lb ground beef
1 large egg
½ yellow onion, finely diced
½ cup bread crumbs
½ cup grated parmesan cheese
¼ cup fresh parsley, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 tablespoon oil, for cooking
11 oz pizza dough
½ cup marinara sauce
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
olive oil, for brushing

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
  • In a large bowl, mix the ground beef, egg, onion, bread crumbs, Parmesan, parsley, garlic, salt, pepper, and oregano.
  • Roll the mixture into golf ball-sized meatballs.
  • In a medium cast iron or nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium heat.
  • Working in batches cook the meatballs until browned on all sides, about 5 minutes. Set aside.
  • On a sheet of parchment paper, press the pizza dough into a large circle, about 12 inches (30-cm) in diameter.
  • Cut 8 evenly spaced 2-inch (5-cm) slits on the edge of the dough.
  • Place one meatball on the edge of the dough between 2 slits. Pull the corners of the dough around the meatball and press into the dough, sealing the meatball in a dough pocket. Repeat with the remaining meatballs.
  • With the help of a friend, transfer the pizza and parchment to a baking sheet.
  • Spoon marinara sauce into the middle of the pizza and spread evenly.
  • Sprinkle mozzarella over the sauce, or add your favorite pizza toppings! Brush the dough around the meatballs with olive oil.
  • Bake for 25 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and the dough is golden and just cooked through.
  • Slice with a pizza cutter and serve.
  • Enjoy!
