WW Pepperoni Pizza Bites

WW Pepperoni Pizza Bites (Homemade Dough Version)

Ingredients

For the Dough:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour

• 1 teaspoon active dry yeast

• ¾ cup warm water

• 1 teaspoon sugar

• 1 tablespoon olive oil

• ½ teaspoon salt

For the Toppings:

• ½ cup pizza sauce (preferably low-sugar)

• 1 cup reduced-fat shredded mozzarella cheese

• ½ cup turkey pepperoni slices

• Fresh basil leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions

1. Activate the Yeast:
   In a small bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for 5–10 minutes, or until foamy.

2. Make the Dough:
   In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour and salt. Add in the yeast mixture and olive oil. Stir until a dough forms.

3. Knead and Rise:
   Transfer dough to a floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes, until smooth. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover, and let it rise in a warm place for 1–2 hours, or until doubled in size.

4. Preheat the Oven:
   Set your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

5. Roll and Cut:
   Roll out the dough to about ¼ inch thickness. Use a round cookie cutter or glass to cut out small circles.

6. Add Toppings:
   Spoon a small amount of pizza sauce on each dough round. Top with a sprinkle of mozzarella cheese and one turkey pepperoni slice.

7. Bake:
   Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

8. Garnish & Serve:
   Optional: Add fresh basil for a flavor and color boost. Let cool slightly before serving.
