Pepper Pizza Bites are mini, baked pizza snacks with big flavor.They’re filled with sauce, cheese, and peppers in soft, golden dough.Easy to customize with mild or spicy pepper varieties.Perfect for parties, dipping, and quick snacking.
Ingredients
- 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough or 1 cup pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
- ½ cup pizza sauce (plus extra for dipping)
- 1 to 1½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- ½ cup chopped peppers (bell peppers, jalapeños, banana peppers, or mixed)
- ¼ cup chopped pepperoni (optional)
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1 tbsp olive oil or melted butter (optional, for brushing)
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 190°C (375°F). Grease a mini muffin tin (or line a baking tray).
- Cut biscuit dough into halves/quarters (or portion pizza dough into small balls). Press each piece into the muffin cups to form a small “cup.”
- Spoon a little pizza sauce into each cup.
- Add mozzarella, then chopped peppers (and pepperoni if using).
- Sprinkle Italian seasoning and parmesan on top.
- Bake 12–15 minutes, until golden and bubbly.
- Cool 3–5 minutes, then remove and serve warm with dipping sauce.
Notes
- Mini muffin pans make the best bite-size shape and crisp edges.
- Drain pickled peppers well to avoid soggy bites.
- Use low-moisture mozzarella for better melt and less liquid.
- Don’t overfill—cheese expands while baking.
- Serve warm for the best cheesy pull.
