Ingredients

Base Ingredients

  • Pizza Dough – enough to roll out into a thin rectangle (approximately 1 lb)
  • Shredded Mozzarella Cheese – 1 to 1 1/2 cups
  • Marinara Sauce – 1/2 cup
  • Pepperoni Slices – 20 to 30 slices

Finishing Touches

  • Olive Oil – 1 to 2 tablespoons, for brushing
  • Italian Seasoning – 1 teaspoon, for sprinkling
  • Parmesan Cheese (optional) – 2 tablespoons, for sprinkling

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Start by gathering all your ingredients. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lay out your pizza dough on a clean, floured surface for easy handling.
  2. Roll and Cut the Dough: Roll the dough out into a thin rectangle to ensure uniform-sized puffs. Cut the dough into small squares about 3×3 inches, perfect for holding the filling snugly.
  3. Assemble the Crazy Puffs: Place a spoonful of marinara sauce in the center of each dough square, add a few slices of pepperoni, then top with shredded mozzarella and a sprinkle of Italian seasoning. Avoid overfilling to ensure proper sealing.
  4. Seal the Puffs: Fold each square diagonally to form a triangle. Press the edges firmly with a fork to seal tightly, preventing any cheese from leaking during baking.
  5. Add the Finishing Touches: Place the sealed puffs onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Lightly brush the tops with olive oil and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese, if desired, for a golden, crispy finish.
  6. Bake to Perfection: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the puffs are golden brown and the cheese inside is bubbly and melted.
  7. Serve and Enjoy: Allow the Crazy Puffs to cool slightly to avoid burns from the melted cheese. Serve with extra marinara sauce for dipping and enjoy!

Notes

  • Do not overfill the puffs to avoid bursting during baking.
  • Use cold dough for easier cutting and handling without sticking.
  • Seal edges well with a fork or fingers to prevent leaks.
  • Brush with olive oil or garlic butter for a crispy, golden exterior.
  • Let puffs rest a few minutes before serving so the cheese sets slightly.
