Ingredients

1 bag DeLallo Pizza Dough Mix
1¼ cups water lukewarm
3 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1½ cups pepperoni chopped
2 tablespoons salted butter melted
½ teaspoon garlic powder
Freshly grated parmesan cheese for tops
2 tablespoons chopped parsley for tops
DeLallo Hot Honey Pizza Sauce for dipping

Instructions

Combine the DeLallo Pizza Dough Mix, yeast packet (included with mix), and water in a large mixing bowl. Stir until a shaggy dough forms.
1 bag DeLallo Pizza Dough Mix, 1¼ cups water
Transfer the dough to a clean work surface and knead by hand for 3-5 minutes until the dough is soft and smooth.
Put the ball of dough into a greased bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Let the dough rise until doubled in size, about 45 minutes to 1 hour depending on how warm the area is.
Mix together the cheese and pepperoni and set aside.
3 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, 1½ cups pepperoni
Turn the dough out onto a clean surface and pat it down into a rough rectangle. Divide into 12 pieces (a bench scraper is great for this).
Take a piece of dough and press it into a 4” circle, then add a heaping ¼ cup of the cheese mixture into the center.
Fold the sides up around the filling and squeeze the dough to seal it in.
Place the ball of dough seam side down in a greased 12” skillet or similar sized baking dish and repeat with the remaining balls of dough.
Cover the pizza balls lightly with plastic wrap and preheat the oven to 375℉.
Mix the melted butter and garlic powder, then brush it all over the tops of the dough balls.
2 tablespoons salted butter, ½ teaspoon garlic powder
Once preheated, bake for 25-30 minutes. Sprinkle with freshly grated parmesan cheese and chopped parsley.
Freshly grated parmesan cheese, 2 tablespoons chopped parsley
Serve warm with heated DeLallo Hot Honey Pizza Sauce for dipping.

Notes

Try to wrap the balls so there’s an even amount of dough all around. Pulling too much dough to the bottom can lead to an uneven distribution of filling.

Store covered in the fridge for up to 5 days. Reheat in the microwave until hot or in a 350F oven for 5-7 minutes.
