What’s not to love about all the goodness of pizza in a bite sized pocket?!?! A fun and unique way to enjoy an everyday favorite that will please everyone.
Let pizza dough come to room temperature for 1 hour.
Preheat oven to 425°F.
Divide pizza dough into 4 pieces. With a rolling pin roll out one section at a time into a square-ish shape that is about a ¼” thick. Cut dough into small squares about 2-inches by 2-inches (doesn’t have to be perfect).
Add a small spoonful of pizza sauce into the center of the square along with pizza toppings of your choice being sure to leave an empty border of dough.
Fold dough over filling and pinch to close creating a small pizza pocket or “bite.”
Place prepared pizza bites onto a parchment lined sheet pan. Brush the tops with melted garlic butter.
Bake in preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes. Let cool slightly before eating.
Pizza bites can be prepared through step 5 and then frozen for a future snack or meal! It’s best to freeze them fully on a sheet pan before transferring to a resealable bag.
