Ingredients
  

1 can (16 oz) refrigerated pizza dough

1 cup pepperoni slices

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

½ cup ricotta cheese

2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

1 garlic clove, minced

¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Marinara sauce (for dipping)

Instructions
 

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface until it’s about ¼ inch thick. Use a pizza cutter to slice the dough into 3-inch squares.

      In a mixing bowl, combine the mozzarella, ricotta, Parmesan, Italian seasoning, minced garlic, and crushed red pepper flakes until well mixed.

        Place a slice of pepperoni in the center of each dough square, followed by a generous spoonful of the cheese mixture.

          Gather the corners of each dough square and pinch them together to seal the filling inside, forming a ball. Make sure there are no gaps.

            Brush each ball with the beaten egg for a golden finish and place them seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.

              Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed.

                Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.

                  Serve warm with marinara sauce for dipping. Enjoy your cheesy pizza explosion!
