Equipment

Ingredients

  • 13.8 ounces refrigerated pizza crust (1 tube) - we used Pillsbury
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter melted (½ stick)
  • ¾ teaspoon garlic salt
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil
  • 5 ounces mini pepperoni slices (1 package) - we used Hormel
  • 1 cup freshly shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ¼ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup pizza sauce

Instructions

  • Soak 10 bamboo skewers in warm water for at least 30 minutes or use metal skewers.
  • Preheat oven to 400°F and cover a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Spray the foil with cooking spray.
    a baking sheet lined with foil and sprayed with nonstick spray.
  • Unroll pizza dough onto a lightly floured countertop. Mix the melted butter, garlic salt, and basil together. Brush the dough lightly with garlic basil butter.

  • Starting at one end of a dough strip, pierce the dough with the pointed end of the skewer. Spiral-wrap the dough strip around the pepperoni on the skewer, allowing the meat to peak through. Wrap the end of the dough strip around the bottom of the skewer to fasten. Press the dough together on each end to be sure it sticks on the skewer.

  • Place skewers on the prepared baking sheet and brush the tops with more of the garlic basil butter. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until pizza dough is light golden brown.
  • Remove from oven and sprinkle with cheese. Allow the cheese to melt (place back in the hot oven, if necessary) and serve with pizza sauce.
