Ingredients

• 1 roll refrigerated pizza dough (opt for whole-wheat if available)
• 8 oz mozzarella cheese, diced or shredded
• 1/2 red onion, finely chopped
• 1/2 green bell pepper, diced
• 1/2 yellow bell pepper, diced
• 1 Tbsp butter, melted (unsalted preferred)
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp dried Italian seasoning
• Low-sugar Marinara or pizza sauce for dipping

Instructions

1. Preparation: Preheat your oven to 425°F.
2. Shape the Dough: Roll the dough into a 12″ x 8″ rectangle. Using a pizza cutter, divide the dough into 24 uniform smaller rectangles.
3. Add Filling: Place approximately one teaspoon of mozzarella and a pinch of chopped bell peppers and onions in the center of each square.
4. Form the Rolls: Carefully gather the edges of each square and pinch them tightly to form a ball, ensuring no fillings escape. Place the balls seam-side down in a lightly greased pie pan or baking sheet.
5. Seasoning: Whisk the melted butter, garlic powder, and Italian seasonings in a small bowl. Brush the mixture generously over each dough ball.
6. Bake: Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, or until the tops reach a beautiful golden-brown hue.
7. Serve: Allow to cool slightly before serving with a side of warm, low-sugar marinara.
