Prepare Dough: Unroll the pizza dough and separate it into breadsticks. Cut each breadstick in half, then flatten each piece into a roughly 2 1/2 inch square disk using the bottom of a glass or a rolling pin.

Assemble Bites: Place one cube of mozzarella cheese and one slice of pepperoni on each dough square. You can get creative here – feel free to add other toppings like sautΓ©ed mushrooms or bell peppers if desired!
-
Seal and Arrange: Pinch the edges of the dough together firmly to seal in the cheese and pepperoni. Place the sealed side down on the prepared baking sheet.
-
Season: Lightly brush each pizza bite with melted butter, then sprinkle a dash of garlic salt over the top for extra flavor.
-
Bake: Transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the pizza bites are golden brown and crispy on the outside.
-
Serve: Once baked to perfection, remove the pizza bites from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. Serve with a side of pizza sauce or pesto for dipping and enjoy!
