Pepperoni and Mozzarella Pizza Balls

These delicious Pizza Balls are addictive.... trust me... we

know... they were supposed to be a little nosh (like that word? ... from my New

York roots).. and they ended up the main event... not a bad thing for sure!

TIPS

You can make as few or as many as you like... so these are

great for parties or for watching the game...

just adjust the baking dish to how ever many you are making... baking

times will remain the same.

I tried to put a little tomato sauce in the middle to add even

more flavor... it didn't work well... actually it ended up baking fine.. but

not worth the effort... because as you stretch the flattened biscuit dough to

form the ball... the tomato sauce spreads and the dough doesn't want to cinch

closed... and I didn't use much sauce at all... so I wouldn't recommend it...

try it if you like.. but it will frustrate you.

I listed the cheese as cut into cubes... little cubes... they

were more like rectangles.... I didn't actually measure them but mine were

about 1/2 inch by 3/4 inch .. maybe a

tad smaller...

A while back I tried making these with shredded cheese

instead of cubes... they just weren't as good and more work... with the cheese

cube.. you get a nice bit of cheese inside... very yummy!

Serve this with tomato sauce on the side... just delicious!

Recipe: Pepperoni and Mozzarella

Pizza Balls

All you need:

• 2 cans Pillsbury Buttermilk Biscuits (10 count size)
• Sliced Pepperoni
• Block Mozzarella, cut into cubes
• Olive oil cooking oil spray
• Garlic Powder
• Coarse Kosher salt
• Italian seasoning
• Grated Parmesan cheese
• Tomato sauce
• All you need to do:
• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Spray an 8 inch glass baking dish with olive oil cooking oil

spray.

Open the canned biscuits and separate them.. then flatten

them using a rolling pin.

Place 2 slices pepperoni and a cheese cube on the flatten

biscuit... then pull the sides up to the middle and cinch... I picked mine up

and rolled it slightly with my hands.

Place them, seam side down in the prepared baking dish.

Repeat until you have made all 20 balls and placed them in

the baking dish. Then lightly spray them

with the olive oil cooking oil spray.

Sprinkle with garlic powder, Italian seasonings and coarse Kosher salt, then

grated Parmesan cheese. Give them

another quick spray with the cooking oil spray.

Bake for 18-20 minutes until golden brown.

Remove from the oven... then using a large spatula run the

spatula around the sides of the baking dish and underneath them so loosen any

that may have stuck slightly. Then using

the spatula lift and slide them onto a cutting board or plate. Use a sharp knife to separate them (it will

only take a quick cut.. they should separate easily).

Serve with tomato sauce.

Flatten the biscuit dough using a rolling pin

Lay two slices pepperoni and a cheese cube on top of the biscuit dough

Pull up the sides of the biscuit dough to the middle

Cinch the dough to close and then roll in your hands

Place the dough seam side down in a prepared baking dish then give them a quick spray of cooking oil spray... sprinlkle with garlic powder, Italian seasonings, coarse Kosher salt and parmesan cheese... another quick spray of cooking oil spray and pop them in the oven at 425 degrees F... for 18-20 minutes until golden brown...
