HOMEMADE PIZZA POPS!

We love pizza pops at our house! So i decided to try making my own! It was easy and my boys loved them! I made my own dough but you can use whatever pizza dough you want!



PIZZA POP DOUGH

2 1/2 Cups Flour
1/2 teaspoon Salt
2 Tablespoons Yeast
1 Cup Hot Water
3 Tablespoons Oil


Mix dry ingredients first, then add your Oil and Hot Water. Mix all together till it forms a nice smooth ball. Let it rest for 1/2 an hour. In that time you can mix your filling!


PIZZA POP FILLING (I made 2 kinds of filling)


CHEESE FILLING ( Shred as much mozzarella cheese as you want, mix pizza sauce with oregano and garlic and pepper, fold the shredded cheese in) set aside.


PEPPARONI AND MUSHROOM ( slice pepparoni and drain a can of sliced mushrooms, mix pizza sauce and oregano and garlic and pepper together, mix in the pepparoni and mushrooms) set aside.


After dough has sat for 1/2 hour, it will have risen so punch down, cut dough in 4 sections, take a section and roll it out, not to thin the filling will break through the dough then. Take a tablespoon of filling, and put on dough, then flip the douover the filling and make the filling nice and snug inside, using a pizza cutter cut around, the filling but not to close you will need to pinch it sealed. Using a fork go around edges sealing. Continue with the rest of your filling. Then bake in a 400 degree oven until golden brown!
