Stuffed Pizza Bites
Ingredients
1 cup “self-rising” flour (1 cup all-purpose OR gluten-free 1-to-1 baking flour + 1.5 tsp baking powder+ 1/2 tsp salt)
3/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp dried oregano
Block mozzarella cheese (cubed)
Trader Joe’s tomato basil marinara sauce (or tomato sauce of choice)
1 tbsp melted butter or olive oil
Additional garlic powder & oregano, for topping
Directions
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees & line a baking sheet with parchment paper
Cut block mozzarella cheese into about 12 small cubes
Create the self-rising flour by combining 1 cup all-purpose OR gluten-free 1-to-1 baking flour + 1.5 tsp baking powder + 1/2 tsp salt
Make the dough by combining self-rising flour + Greek yogurt + garlic powder + oregano. Mix ingredients & knead dough with hands, for a few minutes. If the dough is too sticky, add in additional flour
Once dough is kneaded and easy to work with, place on a floured surface
With a floured rolling pin, roll dough out into a long, wide rectangle, until flat and even
Cut dough into equal sized squares, and roll into balls
Flatten dough balls with thumb, and place a small dollop of tomato basil marinara sauce & mozzarella cheese cube in the center. Fold up edges and press together, until each bite is sealed
Place each bite fold-side down on the lined baking sheet
Repeat until all dough has been used (makes around 12 bites, but depends on how small/large you make them)
Brush each bite with either melted butter or olive oil, and sprinkle with additional garlic powder & oregano
Place in the oven & bake for 15-20 minutes at 400 degrees, until crispy & browned
Once they have cooled enough to handle, plate & serve with tomato basil marinara sauce to dip
Enjoy!
