Servings 4
Ingredients
- 1 Batch High Protein Refrigerator Dough Recipe in Blog Post
- 45 Slices Hormel Pepperoni Slices
- 2 Cups Shredded Mozzarella
- 3/4 Cup Pizza Sauce
- 2 Tbl Light Butter, Melted
- 1 Tsp Each: Garlic Powder, Italian Seasoning
- 4 Tbl Grated Parmesan Cheese
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F and lightly grease a medium baking dish. Cut your prepared dough into bite-sized piece and roll into balls about 1–2 inches each. The pieces do not need to be perfectly even. Place the dough pieces into a large bowl and add the pizza sauce, melted Light Butter, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Toss until everything is lightly coated.
- Add the shredded mozzarella cheese and pepperoni, mixing gently so the ingredients are evenly distributed throughout the dough pieces.
- Transfer the mixture into your baking dish and spread it out evenly. Press it down lightly, but do not pack it tightly so the texture stays chunky.
- Sprinkle the top with Parmesan cheese and a little extra mozzarella if desired. Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Let it cool for 5–10 minutes before serving so it sets slightly. Serve warm and pull apart to eat.
- This makes 4 servings. Each serving is about 20 Grams of Protein.
