14ouncesuncooked pizza dough(homemade or store bought)
1cupshredded mozzarella cheese
¼cup pepperoni
2TBSbutter(melted)
1tspgarlic powder
1tspdried parsley
½cuppizza sauce (optional for dipping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F. Line a large sheet with parchment paper.
Roll the pizza dough into a large rectangle-- about ⅛” thick.
Sprinkle the mozzarella and pepperonis (or whatever toppings you like) evenly over half of the dough.
Fold the half of the pizza dough without the toppings over the half with the toppings and press the edges to seal them together.
Cut the dough into ½-inch strips. Twist the strips and then place them at least 2-inches apart on the parchment lined baking sheet.
Bake the twists in a preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the dippers are starting to turn golden brown.
In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, garlic powder, and dried parsley. Use a pastry brush to brush the dippers evenly with melted butter.
Serve warm with your favorite pizza sauce for dipping.
Notes
Switch up the toppings! I like the classic pepperoni and cheese but tons of different toppings will work – olives, sausage, mushrooms, etc. I would stay away from anything that’s going to be too liquidy (e.g., pineapple) but anything else should work.Store baked pizza twists in an airtight container in the fridge for up to five days.Freeze pizza twists by placing in a freezer safe airtight container (like a gallon-size plastic zipper bag) and freezing for up to three months. Reheat in the oven until warm.
