Pepperoni Pizza Pumpkins

refrigerated pizza pie crust.

marinara sauce

pepperoni

mini mozzarella balls (or 8 cubes of mozzarella)

egg -slightly bitten

Preheat the oven to 400°F, line a baking sheet with parchment paper ad set aside.

Roll out pizza dough and using a 3 ½ or 4-inches cutter cut out 8 circles of dough.

Place a small dollop of marinara sauce in the center of each circle, add 2 pepperoni slices and a cube or a ball of mozzarella.

Bring the edges up and over, pressing them together and being sure to leave no gaps for the filling to leak out. Lay the pizza bombs on the prepared baking sheet.

Wrap each dough ball in along piece of kitchen twine, around the ball to divide it into eight sections. The rolls are baked with the string attached and the dough rises around the string forming little pumpkin shapes.

Brush each ball with egg wash and bake 15-20 minutes, or until it rises and get nice golden- brown color.

Allow rolls to cool for a few minutes, then remove the twine. Serve warm with marinara sauce alongside.

Can frozen bread dough rolls be used for this??

Was a fail for me.  If you get any sauce near edges it will not pinch closed. The baking twine was difficult to remove and they pulled apart. The size was too small. I tried larger than recommended and easier but you would do better with frozen Pizza  dough balls that have been thawed. I get mine by the case at Sams club.  Grandkids got bored with tedious parts like twine.  
They did taste good though!

These were a giant failure for me. The size was too small. They all leaked out, despite being completely pinched shut. And then the twine wouldn’t come off correctly. I was so disappointed and flustered, trying to order pizza at the last minute for the party we were supposed to bring these too. ? I cook a lot and can’t remember the last time a recipe failed so badly. ??
