Ingredients

1 lb pizza dough
1 jars (14 oz) pizza sauce
2 oz mini pepperoni slices
8 oz mozzarella or provolone cheese
8 tbsp salted butter
2 tsp dried oregano
2 tsp garlic powder
kosher salt

Steps

Let the pizza dough rest covered at room temperature for 60 minutes.
Heat the oven to 400 F and grease a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with cooking oil.
Cut the dough into 20 pieces and fill each piece with pepperoni, cheese, and a small spoonful of pizza sauce.
Pinch each piece closed, place the balls seam-side down in the dish, and brush them with melted butter mixed with garlic powder and oregano.
Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, until golden and cooked through.
Brush the hot balls with the remaining garlic butter and sprinkle them with Parmesan and salt.
