Pizza Balls

Since it was cold and rainy yesterday, what better than to make something fun for dinner.  I even took a shortcut of using a frozen pizza dough instead of from scratch...well it was raining and my Kindle and sofa enticed me to relax and nap.  

Pizza Balls

1 loaf frozen bread dough, thawed and allowed to rise. 
pepperoni
fresh mozzarella cheese
oregano
1 tbsp butter
Parmesan cheese

Pizza sauce for dipping

When the dough has risen about 1/4 of the way, leave in the loaf shape but cut 8 equal slices to make it easy to divide out later.  When fully risen,  take apart pieces and roll out into about a 5" circle.  Place pepperoni and 1 tbsp of fresh mozzarella in the center.  Sprinkle each with a dash of oregano.  Bring the sides together and pinch dough together so it's completely sealed.  Place seam size down in a round baking dish ~ I used an 8" springform pan.  Allow to rise again until doubled.  Bake at 350° for 15 minutes.  Remove from oven and spread butter over buns and sprinkle more oregano and about a tbsp of freshly grated Parmesan on top.  Return to oven and bake for another 8 minutes.
