On that note, we bring you a super easy, delicious recipe for pizza bites that youโll be cooking over and over again.

Weโve stumbled upon this recipe on tastyshop.com, and let us just say that itโs a game-changer. Of course, there is nothing wrong with making a traditional pizza, but you know that it always gets more interesting once you mix up the game a bit.
Youโll need an ice cube tray for pizza bites, and you better count the number of cups of the tray, because thatโs how many pizza bites youโll have in the end.
If you plan on feeding more people, then youโll probably need to repeat the process a few times. Donโt worry though, it doesnโt get any easier than this.
Youโll need 16 ounces of pizza dough, half a cup of marinara sauce, pesto, and a few more things.
First of all, it makes no difference whether the ice cube tray is silicone or hard plastic; itโll do the work either way. Apart from the main ingredients we have already mentioned, youโll also need:
- 3 tablespoons shredded mozzarella cheese
- 3 teaspoons shredded cheddar cheese
- ยผ cup pepperoni, chopped
- ยผ cup onion, chopped
- ยผ cup bell pepper, chopped
- ยผ cup mushrooms, chopped
- ยผ cup tomato, chopped
- ยผ cup ham, chopped
- ยผ cup pineapple, chopped
Add other assorted toppings, if you wish.
Keep in mind that youโll need more of all ingredients if you plan to make a lot of pizza bites. These measurements are for 12 bites only.
Preheat the oven to 350โฐF (180โฐC) and make sure to let the dough sit out at room temperature for about half an hour.
Flour the surface. After that, take the dough and cut it in half. Take one half and roll it out into a rectangle, about 1/8 of an inch thick.
Repeat the same process with the other half of the dough, and put that other half aside for now.
Now, take your ice cube tray, oil it lightly, and cover it with the dough.
Carefully, press the dough down into every hole of the tray and let the dough stretch properly.
Donโt worry if the dough tears up a bitโyou can always fix it with the excess dough. Youโre supposed to have something like the photo below.
The hard part is over. Fill the holes with marinara sauce, pesto, cheese and put a little bit of all other ingredients.
Donโt be shy with this step, stuff it all in!
Once youโre done, take the other half of the dough and cover the prepared bites.
Now, transfer everything to a baking sheet and flip the tray.
Use the knife to separate the bites. Now, theyโre ready for baking!
After that, bake it all for 15-20 minutes.
Youโll know itโs done when pizza bites get the beautiful golden brown color.
Take them out, serve them warm, and include as many sauces as you wish. Bon Appetit!
