Ingredients:

  • 1 lb fresh pizza dough
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp water
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour for dusting
  • 0.5 cup thick pizza sauce
  • 1.5 cups shredded low-moisture part-skim mozzarella cheese
  • 0.5 cup mini pepperoni slices
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 0.25 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese
  • 0.5 tsp garlic powder
  • 0.5 tsp smoked paprika

Instructions:

  1. Bring your 1 lb fresh pizza dough to room temperature for at least 30 minutes. Dust your surface with 2 tbsp flour and roll the dough into a large rectangle, about 1/8 inch thick. Cut the dough into 20 equal squares (roughly 3x3 inches).
  2. In a medium bowl, combine 1.5 cups mozzarella, 0.5 cup mini pepperoni, 1 tsp dried oregano, 0.25 cup Parmesan, 0.5 tsp garlic powder, and 0.5 tsp smoked paprika.
  3. Place 1 teaspoon of the 0.5 cup thick pizza sauce in the center of each square.
  4. Top the sauce with a generous tablespoon of your cheese and pepperoni mixture.
  5. Whisk 1 large egg with 1 tsp water. Brush the edges of the squares, fold over into a rectangle or triangle, and crimp tightly with a fork until no gaps remain.
  6. Brush the tops of the assembled rolls with the remaining egg wash.
  7. Place a single layer in the basket at 375°F (190°C). Cook for 8 minutes until golden and crackling.
  8. Let them rest for 2 minutes before serving.
