Sunnys Pizza Bites Recipes

SUNNY'S PIZZA BITES

Steps:

• To roast the tomatoes: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Season the tomatoes with oregano, salt and pepper, to taste. Drizzle with oil and arrange them on a cooling rack over a baking sheet. Roast until then are golden, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Raise the oven temperature to 400 degrees F when the tomatoes are roasted. Unfold 1 puff pastry sheet onto a clean cutting board. Prick the dough evenly, multiple times, with a fork. Using a 2-inch pastry cutter, cut out 12 circles and arrange them on a parchment lined baking sheet. Repeat with the second sheet of pastry. Bake until they are nicely puffed and golden, about 8 minutes.
• To assemble: Cut the puffs in half. Spoon a generous teaspoon of marinara sauce into the bottom of half of the puffs and sprinkle with Parmesan. Put a roasted tomato on top of each followed by the basil and a sprinkling of the mozzarella. Top with the other puff pastry halves and arrange them on a baking sheet. Bake for another 5 minutes, giving the cheese time to melt. Transfer the bites to a serving platter and serve warm.

PIZZA BITES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F and spray a 9x9 baking dish with non-stick spray, set aside.
• Divide dough into 16 pieces. Roll each out into a ¼ inch thick circle.
• Add equal parts cheese and pepperoni into the center of each circle. Pinch together the corners of the dough and create a ball.
• Place the balls, seam side down, into the prepared baking dish.
• After all the balls have been made and are in the dish, brush the tops with olive oil and sprinkled on garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and Parmesan cheese.
• Bake for about 20 minutes or until the dough is fully cooked and the rolls are golden brown.
• Serve with warmed pizza sauce for dipping.

SUNNY'S EASY FREEZE AND BAKE 24/7 MINI PIZZAS

Steps:

• Divide and spread the pizza sauce among the English muffin halves. Sprinkle the mozzarella in an even layer over the top of the sauce on each.
• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place the muffin halves next to each other in a row on one end. Spread out the pepperoni, peppers and onions, bacon, ham and pineapple in separate rows in a single layer next to the muffins. Sprinkle the oregano over everything. Freeze, uncovered, until the muffins are hard, 1 to 2 hours.
• Tightly wrap each English muffin half with plastic wrap and place in freezer-safe bags. Remove the toppings to separate freezer-safe bags. Freeze the muffins and toppings until ready to use.
• When ready to cook, preheat the oven or toaster oven to 400 degrees F. Remove as many English muffin halves as you like from the freezer. Top each base with the toppings of your choice. Bake until the cheese is melted and the muffins are cooked through, 15 to 18 minutes. Remove and rest 2 minutes before eating.

EASY PIZZA DOUGH PRETZEL BITES

Steps:

• For the creamy mustard dip: Stir together the mustard, sour cream and honey. Season with salt. Transfer to a small serving bowl and refrigerate until ready to serve.
• For the pretzel bites: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a tray with paper towels.
• Bring 3 quarts water to a boil in a large pot. Divide the pizza dough into four pieces and roll each piece into a rope about 3/4-inch in diameter. Cut each rope into approximately 1-inch long segments.
• When the water comes to a boil, add the baking soda and stir to combine. Add half of the dough to the water and boil for about 45 seconds. Transfer the boiled dough to the paper towels. Repeat with the remaining dough. Lightly pat the dough with a paper towel to dab off some of the foamy water.
• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Beat the egg with 1 1/2 tablespoons water in a small bowl.
• Dip each dough bite into the egg wash, letting the excess drip off, then place it on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch of space between each. Sprinkle the tops of the bites lightly with salt and bake until deep golden brown all over, 13 to 15 minutes.
• Serve warm with the creamy mustard dip.

ZUCCHINI PIZZA BITES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and spray with cooking spray.
• Slice the zucchini 1/4-inch thick; you should get about 24 slices. Place the slices on the prepared baking sheet and sprinkle with salt. Top each slice with 1/2 teaspoon marinara sauce and 1 teaspoon mozzarella.
• Bake until the cheese is melted and bubbly, about 8 minutes.

SUNNY'S EASY AS 1-2-3 PIZZA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• For the dough: In a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, add the flour, yogurt and seasoning blend and mix until combined and tacky. Scrape off the dough from the paddle and replace the paddle with the kneading (dough hook) attachment. Sprinkle in a bit more flour and knead on medium until a ball forms. On a floured surface, roll out the dough to a big thin circle or divide the dough in half to make 2 pizzas.
• For the toppings: Place the pizza on a baking sheet or pizza stone. Leaving a 1-inch border around the edge of the dough, top the pizza evenly with the sauce and cheese, then the selected toppings. Bake until the edges are golden brown, 8 to 12 minutes.
