PIZZA STICKS 3-WAYS RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Soak the wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.
• Preheat the oven to 400˚F (200˚C) and line 4 baking sheets, or as many as you have, with parchment paper.
• Make the pepperoni pizza sticks: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Set aside.
• Unroll the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface and cut into 8 strips.
• Fold 5 pepperoni slices into quarters and thread onto a wooden skewer, spacing about 1 inch (2 ½ cm) apart. Repeat to make 8 skewers total.
• Starting at the pointed end of a skewer, weave a dough strip down around the pepperoni slices, pinching at the bottom to secure, and set on a prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining skewers.
• Brush the skewers with the seasoned oil and sprinkle with the Parmesan cheese.
• Bake the skewers for 10-12 minutes, rotating halfway through, until the dough is golden brown.
• Serve with pizza sauce for dipping.
• Make the vegetarian pizza sticks: Spread the mushrooms, onion, and bell pepper in an even layer on a baking sheet. Season with salt, pepper, and the red pepper flakes and drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Toss to coat.
• Roast the vegetables for 15 minutes, until the mushrooms are golden brown. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool.
• Unroll the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface and cut into 8 strips.
• Thread 1 piece of each vegetable onto the skewers to make 1 stack, spacing the stacks about 1 inch (2 ½ cm) apart (you should have about 4 stacks per skewer). Repeat to make 8 skewers total.
• Starting at the pointed end of the skewer, weave a dough strip down around the vegetables, pinching at the bottom to secure, and set on a prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining skewers.
• Brush the skewers with the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil and sprinkle with the mozzarella cheese.
• Bake the skewers for 10-12 minutes, rotating halfway through, until the dough is golden brown.
• Serve with ranch dressing for dipping.

• Starting at the pointed end of the skewer, weave a dough strip down around the tomatoes, pinching at the bottom to secure, and set on a prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining skewers.
• Brush the skewers with the olive oil and sprinkle with the mozzarella cheese.
• Bake the skewers for 10-12 minutes, rotating halfway through, until the dough is golden brown.

EASY PIZZA DIP

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375F. Spray a 9-inch pie dish (I used a glass Pyrex) with cooking spray.
• Using a spatula or butter knife, evenly spread the cream cheese over the base of pie dish. It'll slide around a bit and it doesn't have to be perfect, but it's so much easier if your cream cheese is very well-softened.
• Evenly sprinkle 3/4 cup mozzarella over cream cheese.
• Evenly sprinkle 1/2 cup parmesan.
• Evenly add the pizza sauce to cover cheese and if necessary, gently spread it with a spatula or knife to evenly disperse.
• Evenly sprinkle 3/4 cup mozzarella over sauce.
• Evenly sprinkle 1/2 cup parmesan.
• Evenly top with pepperoni slices.
• Bake for about 20 to 25 minutes (I baked 23 minutes), or until cheese has melted and dip is done to your liking. Allow dip to cool momentarily before serving.

PIZZA DIP THREE WAYS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Dust a work surface with flour to keep the dough from sticking. Divide each dough ball into 12 equal-size pieces. Roll each piece into an 8-inch rope and twist into a knot. Arrange the knots around the edge of a 13-by-18-inch sheet pan, leaving 1/4 inch between each. Use the remaining knots to form 2 lines to divide the pan into 3 sections widthwise. Cover the pan with a clean kitchen towel and let the dough rise, about 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, make the garlic oil. Combine the butter, olive oil, parsley, garlic powder, fresh garlic and 2 teaspoons salt in a medium bowl. Stir to combine.
• Brush the knots with about 1/4 cup of the garlic oil and sprinkle with 2 tablespoons Parmesan. Bake until just starting to brown, about 20 minutes. (The knots won't be fully baked.) Reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F.
• Meanwhile, combine the cream cheese, ricotta, heavy cream, red pepper flakes, 1 cup mozzarella, the remaining 1/2 cup Parmesan and 6 tablespoons of the garlic oil in a large bowl. Beat with an electric mixer until fluffy and combined, about 3 minutes.
• Make the dips in the pan of half-baked knots. Divide the marinara sauce evenly between the far left and far right sections. Sprinkle half of the pepperoni over the right-hand section. Sprinkle half of the peppers and onions over the left-hand section. Then dollop and spread two-thirds of the ricotta mixture in the center section. Divide the remaining ricotta mixture between the right and left sections, dolloping it over the sauce and gently spreading with the back of a spoon or small offset spatula. Divide the remaining cup mozzarella between the far right and far left sections, sprinkling it on. Top the far right section with the remaining pepperoni and the far left section with the remaining peppers, onions and olives. Bake until the knots are golden and the dips are bubbling and lightly browned, 20 to 25 more minutes.
• Brush the knots with the remaining garlic oil and sprinkle the fresh basil over the center section.
