Pizza Bites

Last night the girls got together and had  Pinterest Party. Pinterest food, crafts, and drinks!

I could not decide what to make out of all the Pinterest recipes. After much deliberation, I decided that I couldn't go wrong with Pizza. I found 2 different pizza bite recipes and tried them both out.

I used these ingredients for both recipes.

First, Pizza Stuffed Pretzel Bites 

Roll out your dough, the cute 3 inch pieces out.  Re-roll the pieces.

Place cheese and peperoni in the middle

pinch up the sides. I ended up rolling them in a ball after I pinched up the sides.

Bring water to a boil. Add the baking soda. Place a few bites in the pot for 30 seconds.

Put wet (from the step above) on a pan and brush with egg whites. Cover with Sea Salt

Pretzels has lots of salt. The pizza mixture and the sea salt were kind of strange.

They tasted like pretzels exactly though.

Next, Pizza Rolls

Roll dough into a rectangle and spread salted butter (I ended up not salting the butter on the next 2 because again, the salt and pizza was weird) Add garlic powder, sauce, cheese, and pepperonis.

Roll into a long log and refrigerate for 20 mins at least

Cut the log into slices. Place on pan and bake.
