Homemade pizza bites tuck pepperoni and gooey mozzarella into seasoned pizza dough, then they're baked with even more cheese on top. Yum!

Ingredients

1 pound Thin Crust Pizza Dough (or your favorite pizza dough)
15 slices pepperoni
12 ounces mozzarella, cut into 15 cubes
15 slices chorizo "extra" (or substitute with bold pepperoni)
3 tablespoons olive oil
½ teaspoon dried oregano
½ teaspoon dried thyme
½ teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon sea salt
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh parsley
fresh basil leaves, optional garnish
1 cup Pizza Sauce (or your own favorite pizza sauce), for dipping

Instructions

Preheat oven to 425°F and lightly grease a 10" oven-safe baking dish or skillet.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out pizza dough to ¼" thickness.
Using a knife or pizza cutter, cut the dough into 15 equal squares.
Place a pepperoni slice in center of each dough square, then top with a mozzarella cube.
Enclose the filling by bringing the edges of the dough together, forming small balls or rounds. Ensure the filling is sealed inside the dough.
Arrange assembled pizza bites in prepared dish, with a little space in between each one. Tuck a slice of chorizo extra between each pizza bite.
In a small bowl, mix olive oil with dried oregano, thyme, and basil, plus garlic powder and sea salt. Brush the mixture over the top of pizza bites.
Sprinkle Parmesan evenly over the tops of pizza bites.
Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the tops are lightly golden.
Remove pizza bites from oven and sprinkle shredded mozzarella on top. Turn off the oven, then put the pizza bites back in for 3-4 minutes, or until the mozzarella is melty to your liking.
Remove pizza bites from oven and sprinkle with fresh parsley. Garnish with fresh basil leaves.
Serve pizza bites hot with pizza sauce for dipping. Enjoy!
