Pepperoni Pizza Bites
My daughter loves those mini frozen bagel pizzas, so I wanted to make an easy Pepperoni Pizza Bite recipe from scratch. I figured making bagels and then topping them with pizza ingredients would take too long, so I streamlined them and made them in muffin tins instead. These mini pizza bites would be great for an afternoon snack or even a party appetizer. If your kids like these pizza bites, you should also try my Pizza Sausage Rolls and Stuffed Bagel Balls.
How to Make Pizza Bites
Make the pizza dough: Combine the dry ingredients and then add the yogurt. Knead the dough until it is tacky but not sticky. You can also use premade pizza dough to make this faster. Divide the dough into 16 balls and press each into the greased muffin tin. Bake the dough for 15 minutes at 375 degrees and remove it from the oven. Top your pizza bites: Gently press the dough down in the middle of each cup to create a small well. Top each with sauce, mozzarella cheese, and chopped pepperoni. Bake the bites for three more minutes until the cheese is melted. Carefully remove the mini pizzas from the oven and let them cool before eating.
Pizza Topping Ideas and Variations
I used turkey pepperoni on my pizza bites, but you can top them with anything you like on your pizza! Here are some ideas:
Veggie with finely diced bell peppers or any chopped leftover veggies Caprese with fresh mozzarella and basil Pesto pizza with pesto and cheese White pizza with ricotta, mozzarella, and Italian seasoning Dessert pizza with Nutella and mini marshmallows I made homemade bagel dough so my pizza bites would have extra protein, but you can also buy pre-made pizza dough.
