Ingredients

Scale

Here’s what you’ll need to make Stuffed Pepperoni Pizza Sticks:

  • 1 can (8 oz) pizza dough (or homemade pizza dough)
  • 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • ½ cup pepperoni slices, chopped into smaller pieces
  • ¼ cup pizza sauce (plus extra for dipping)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (for brushing)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon dried oregano
  • ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Fresh basil leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Prepare the Pizza Dough:

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
  2. Roll Out the Dough: On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a rectangle (about 10×8 inches). If using store-bought dough, follow the instructions on the package for rolling out.

Stuff the Pizza Sticks:

  1. Add the Cheese and Pepperoni: Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly across the dough, leaving a small border around the edges. Top with the chopped pepperoni pieces.
  2. Add the Sauce: Drizzle a little pizza sauce over the cheese and pepperoni, keeping it within the borders of the dough.

Shape the Pizza Sticks:

  1. Fold and Seal: Carefully fold the dough over the fillings to create a long rectangle. Pinch the edges to seal the dough completely, making sure the cheese and pepperoni stay inside.
  2. Slice the Sticks: Cut the rolled dough into 12 equal-sized strips using a sharp knife or pizza cutter.

Bake the Pizza Sticks:

  1. Prepare for Baking: Place the pizza sticks onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them out evenly. Brush the tops with olive oil and sprinkle with garlic powder, oregano, and crushed red pepper flakes (if using).
  2. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the pizza sticks are golden brown and crispy.

Serve the Pizza Sticks:

  1. Serve: Once baked, remove the pizza sticks from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. Garnish with fresh basil leaves for an extra pop of color and flavor.
