Pizza Bites like this recipe can be used as an appetizer, after school snack or a small weeknight dinner! Each and every bread roll is filled with mozzarella cheese and a slice of pepperoni. It’s finished off with a buttery and cheesy topping then baked in a skillet. You’ll leave room in the middle of the ring to pop in a bowl full of a combination of your favorite jarred Alfredo Sauce and Pizza Sauce. Simply pull apart and dip!
