Calories 127kcal
Ingredients
- 15 ounces refrigerated pie crust (1 package with 2 crusts)
- 1 large egg beaten
- 1 tablespoon water
- ½ cup pizza sauce
- ½ cup mozzarella shredded
- ¼ cup mini pepperoni
- 1 tablespoon garlic salt
- ¼ cup parmesan shredded
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with a silicon mat or parchment paper. Set aside.
- Carefully unroll the pie crust dough. Using a rolling pin, roll out any rough spots to flatten them. Use a 3-inch round cookie cutter to cut out 8 circles of dough. Re-roll the remaining pie crust dough and cut out more circles. (I usually get about 20 total.)
- Place the pie crust circles onto the prepared baking sheet. (You will need to cook in batches.) In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water. Brush this egg wash around the edge of each circle.
- Spread 1/2 teaspoon of pizza sauce on one half of each circle, making sure not to go over the egg wash. Then place 1 teaspoon of mozzarella cheese over the pizza sauce and then 3-4 mini pepperoni over the cheese.
- Fold the bare side of the pie dough over the top, making a half-circle. Gently press the edges together with your fingers. Use a fork to crimp the edges together so they are sealed.
- Brush each pizza bite with some of the egg wash. Then sprinkle the top with garlic salt and Parmesan cheese.
- Bake for 15 to 17 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and serve warm with extra pizza sauce for dipping.
