Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Pizza dough
- 1 cup Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 0.5 cup Marinara sauce
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tablespoons Fresh basil leaves, chopped (optional)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Roll out the pizza dough onto a lightly floured surface to about 1/4-inch thickness.
Using a 2-inch round cookie cutter or a small glass, cut the dough into circles.
Place the dough circles on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each one.
Spread a small amount of marinara sauce (about 1/2 teaspoon) onto each dough circle.
Sprinkle mozzarella cheese and cheddar cheese evenly on top of the sauce, dividing the cheeses evenly across the dough bites.
Brush the edges of the dough with olive oil using a pastry brush.
In a small bowl, mix the Italian seasoning and garlic powder, then sprinkle this mixture over the cheesy pizza bites.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges of the dough are golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly for 2-3 minutes.
Garnish with grated Parmesan cheese and fresh basil (if using) before serving.
Serve warm and enjoy these irresistible double cheese pizza bites!
