Perfect for quick bites, parties, or movie nights, these poppers are easy to make, customizable, and loved by both kids and adults. With a golden crust and gooey melted cheese inside, they bring vibrant pizza flavors into every bite.

Ingredients

Basic Ingredients

  • Pizza dough (enough to roll into a thin rectangle, about 1 lb)
  • Marinara sauce (about 1/2 cup)
  • Mozzarella cheese (1 to 1 1/2 cups shredded)
  • Pepperoni or preferred toppings (about 1/2 cup, sliced or chopped)
  • Olive oil (2 tablespoons, for brushing)
  • Seasoning (such as Italian seasoning, garlic powder, or extra cheese for sprinkling)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the dough: Start with your pizza dough at room temperature; roll it out into a thin rectangle on a lightly floured surface to ensure easy filling and rolling.
  2. Add the fillings: Spread an even layer of marinara sauce over the dough, then scatter mozzarella cheese and your chosen toppings evenly, leaving a small border to seal the edges.
  3. Roll and slice: Carefully roll the dough into a tight log, then slice the roll into bite-sized pieces about 1 to 1.5 inches thick to create individual poppers.
  4. Prepare for baking: Place the poppers on a greased baking sheet, brush the tops lightly with olive oil, and sprinkle with your favorite seasoning or a bit of extra cheese.
  5. Bake until golden: Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and the cheese inside is melted and bubbly.

Notes

  • Room temperature dough makes it easier to roll and prevents tearing.
  • Don’t overfill with sauce or cheese to avoid poppers bursting during baking.
  • Brushing with olive oil ensures a crispy golden crust and adds richness.
  • Let poppers cool slightly before serving to avoid burning on hot cheese.
  • Use parchment paper to prevent sticking and simplify cleanup.
