    Cake Pop Maker Savory Pizza Bites

    Jump to Recipe

    Do you remember when Totinos pizza rolls came out a while back? They were popular among the after-school crowd, along with party hosts who needed an easy addition to their Super Bowl party food array. These pizza rolls are still as popular as ever.

    If you've ever had a sudden craving for these delicious morsels, why not try making something similar at home? Introducing cake pop maker savory pizza bites.

    Stuffed with everything you know and love about pizza, such as mozzarella cheese, bacon crumbles, and marinara sauce, you can cook them in a cake pop maker in a flash.

    I also have a tutorial for how to grill pizza on a gas grill if you're interested in another alternative pizza cooking method. Or these cake pop maker falafel for another savory snack.

    Use these little delights as after school snacks for your kids and you will be the most popular parent on the block.

    The dough is the perfect combination of soft and crispy, thanks to the cake pop machine. This machine also makes this recipe a breeze since you don't even have to turn your oven on. Simply pop them in and wait for flavors to cook and meld into a glorious pizza ball.

    These savory pizza balls will store well in an airtight container and placed in a refrigerator for up to a week. You can also freeze them. Store them in freezer bags and pop them into the microwave or oven whenever you get the hankering for a pizza bite.

    Calories 71 kcal

    Ingredients
     
     

    • ¾ cup mozzarella cheese - shredded
    • ¼ cup Parmesan cheese - shredded
    • 2 garlic cloves - finely minced
    • 2 tablespoons olive oil
    • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning mix
    • ¼ cup crunchy bacon bits - or diced ham
    • 1 pizza dough ball - or an 8 ounce sheet of puff pastry
    • ½ cup pizza sauce - your favorite brand
    • salt and pepper - to taste

    Instructions
     

    • Lightly oil the cake pop maker plates. Mix cheeses, garlic, olive oil, Italian seasoning, bacon, salt and pepper in a bowl.
    • Roll out dough on a floured table. Use a pizza cutter to cut out 24 squares. Alternatively, you can use a round cookie cutter to make circles.
    • Place 1 teaspoon of filling in one of the squares, close it in your hand and roll it to form an even ball. (If it gets sticky, you can add a bit of flour.) Repeat with the remaining squares. Preheat the cake pop maker.
    • Place the balls in the cake pop maker. Close the lid and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until they are golden toned. If they didn't brown evenly, you can flip them over and cook until golden on both sides.
    • Repeat with remaining dough balls. Let cool 1 to 2 minutes.
    • Serve with the pizza sauce or marinara!
