# What You'll Need:
→ Topping and Finish
01 -
Splash on olive oil if you're feeling fancy (optional)
02 -
Handful of dried oregano for a flavor boost (optional)
03 -
Scatter more shredded mozzarella over the top if you want (optional)
→ Filling
04 -
6 tablespoons of the marinara or pasta sauce you love
05 -
About 1 cup of mozzarella cheese, shredded
06 -
12 pieces of pepperoni
→ Dough
07 -
Grab 1 can of pre-made pizza dough from the store
# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Let 'em chill for a bit cause they're super hot right now. If you want, dunk them in some ranch or heated-up pasta sauce.
02 -
Pop your tray in the oven. Let them cook for roughly 10 to 13 minutes, just until they turn lovely golden and the cheese is melted inside.
03 -
If you're feeling it, brush on some olive oil, toss extra cheese on top, and sprinkle oregano for good measure.
04 -
Shape each square into a triangle by folding over the corners. Press those edges together with a fork so nothing falls out.
05 -
Drop about a spoonful of sauce on half of every dough square. Dump some shredded mozzarella and stick in a few pepperoni slices.
06 -
Spread out your dough straight from the can, either on floured counter or parchment. Take a knife or pizza wheel and cut it into 6 equal squares.
07 -
Fire up your oven to 425°F (220°C). Lay parchment on a baking pan so you'll have less to clean up later.
# Additional Tips:
01 -
Don't stuff them too much or the filling will ooze out while they bake.
02 -
Kick out the pepperoni and toss in some cooked veggies if you feel like going meatless.
03 -
Let them rest a couple minutes so they crisp up more and you don't burn your tongue.
