Pizza Popper Pull Aparts

Pizza Balls
(modified from a recipe that I got off of weelicious)

1 16 oz Pkg White or Whole Wheat Pizza Dough
1 package of turkey pepperoni (coarsely chop)
1 1/2 Cup Mozzarella Cheese, shredded
Olive Oil
Garlic Powder
Tomato Sauce and or Ranch for dipping
Preheat oven to 425°F.
1 Divide thawed dough into 16 even pieces
2. In a separate container mix cheese and pepperoni
3. Take the piece of dough and roll them out until they are about 3 inches in diameter. Then spoon on the cheese and pepperoni. Fold the dough in half like a mini calzone and pinch off the edges making sure that it is sealed, then gently roll to make a ball. Save a little bit of the cheese mixture for topping the pizza balls.
4. Coat a 9 inch cake pan with olive oil and season with garlic powder.
5. Place the balls in the cake pan then drizzle (or brush) with olive oil and garlic powder again. Top with any cheese mixture.
6. Bake for 20 minutes or until golden.
There are so many different things you can do with this though. Happy baking :)
