Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 lb pizza dough store-bought or homemade
- 2 cup shredded mozzarella low-moisture
- 0.5 cup finely grated Parmesan
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- 2.5 tsp minced garlic
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
- 1 tbsp olive oil for the pan
- 0.75 tsp kosher salt
- 0.25 tsp red pepper flakes optional heat
- 0.5 tsp Italian seasoning
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet and brush it with olive oil.
- Stir melted butter with garlic, parsley, salt, red pepper flakes, and Italian seasoning.
- Cut the dough into 24 pieces. Flatten each piece into a small disk.
- Combine mozzarella and Parmesan in a bowl for the filling.
- Spoon some cheese into each disk. Pinch edges to seal into a ball.
- Toss dough balls in the garlic butter until lightly coated.
- Arrange seam side down on the sheet. Brush with extra butter and sprinkle any leftover cheese.
- Bake 12–15 minutes, until golden and the cheese is bubbly.
- Cool 2 minutes. Serve warm; add marinara for dipping if you like.
Notes
Variation: Fold in a handful of finely diced pepperoni or cooked bacon with the cheese. Try a cheddar–mozzarella mix for sharper flavor. Storage: Refrigerate leftovers up to 3 days; reheat at 350°F for 8–10 minutes to crisp.
