What is a pizza pop? Think of it as a mini calzone on a stick. Pepperoni, mushrooms and peppers fill this one but feel free to experiment with your favorite pizza toppings. Serve with a mixed green salad with red-wine vinaigrette.

Preparation

Active

Ready In
- Preheat oven to 450°F. Coat a large baking sheet with cooking spray.
- Cut pizza dough into 8 equal portions. Let rest on a lightly floured surface while you assemble the skewers.
- Thread 2 pepperoni, 2 mushroom halves, 2 pepper pieces and 2 cheese cubes alternately onto eight 6-inch skewers.
- Stretch and pat each portion of dough into a rectangle approximately 4 inches by 6 inches. Spread 1½ teaspoons sauce on each portion of dough. Place one skewer on each piece of dough, wrap the dough around the skewer and pinch to seal. Place the skewers seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Brush with oil and sprinkle with oregano (or basil).
- Bake until golden, 15 to 17 minutes. Serve with the remaining marinara for dipping.
- Make Ahead Tip: Prepare through Step 4, loosely cover and refrigerate for up to 4 hours.
- Equipment: Eight 6-inch skewers
- Easy cleanup: Recipes that require cooking spray can leave behind a sticky residue that can be hard to clean. To save time and keep your baking sheet looking fresh, line it with a layer of foil before you apply the cooking spray.
