Leftover Easter ham? Ya... thought so. Us, too. Tired of ham sandwiches? Yep... same here. So how about mixing things up a little bit & trying something new with some of that ham!!? I'd seen several different bloggers post a recipe for Pizza Bites/Pizza Balls - little balls of dough with a cube of mozzarella & a slice or 2 of pepperoni in the middle. Then you bake them & dip 'em in pizza sauce. Well, I was trying to be good & responsible & use what we had so I decided to make up a batch of ham & pineapple pizza balls. Not bad!! Not bad at all! Wanna make some? Of course you do!! LOL
You'll need:
A roll of pizza dough (or you can go from scratch), Mozzarella (most of the people I've seen used cubes - I had shredded so that's what we went with!) and what even toppings/fillings you like on your pizza. As mentioned, I went with ham & pineapple. you could easily so sausage, olives, mushrooms, pepperoni, etc... have fun with it! Then you'll also need olive oil, Italian Seasoning & Parmesan cheese. And your dips, of course!
Roll out your dough & then cut it into little squares. I got 20 out of 1 roll of the Pillsbury stuff.
Spread the squares out a little & then add in the fixings!
Seal the edges up tightly. You don't want any holes or it'll all ooze out & leave you with a sad, hallow ball. Booo for empty pizza balls!
Now pop them into a greased pan, seam side down - either a square or pie one work. Drizzle with some olive oil & use a pastry brush to spread it around. Then sprinkle with Italian Seasoning & Parmesan cheese.
Throw them into your 400 oven for 20 minutes.
Ta da!!!!
I smashed one open for you....
Look at all the steaming, oozing goodness!
Serve them up with a side of your favorite dipping sauce - pizza sauce, Alfredo, Ranch... whatever your family's into!
Mmmm..... ENJOY!
