How to Make Mini Pizza Lollipops

Pizza is arguably the most fun and delicious food on earth. But what if it could be made even more fun? #challengeaccepted

We transformed pizza into lil’ lollipops, perfect for your football party platter. #SpoonTip: You don’t have to like football to like these.

And these babies come together in no time at all. All you need is some store-bought pizza dough, Hunt’s diced tomatoes in sauce (which are peeled using steam from simple hot water, instead of *chemicals), a little cheese and a whole lot of enthusiasm (#goyourteam). Pizza lollipops are sure to be an epic touchdown on your Super Bowl party spread, so get rolling.

Mini Pizza Roll Lollipops

• Prep Time:15 minutes
• Cook Time:10-12 minutes
• Total Time:25 minutes
• Servings:10 pizza pops
• Easy

Ingredients

• 1 lb premade or homemade pizza dough
• 1 cup Hunt’s diced tomatoes in sauce
• 1 clove garlic, or 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon oregano
• 1 teaspoon dried or fresh basil
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1/2 cup toppings of your choice (such as pepperoni, bell peppers or olives)

• Step 1

  Preheat oven to 400º F.

• Step 2

  Roll out the pizza dough until it is approximately 10 inches x 14 inches (a little larger than a piece of printer paper).

  

• Step 3

  In a blender or food processor, combine Hunt’s diced tomatoes in sauce, garlic, basil and oregano. Pulse until combined.

  

• Step 4

  Spoon cheese over dough, leaving a one inch margin. Cover with cheese.

  

• Step 5

  Add additional toppings. Fold over ends on both sides.

  

• Step 6

  Roll into a long log (hot dog style, not hamburger).

• Step 7

  Cut log into slices, about 1 inch in thickness.

  #SpoonTip: To make this easier, you may want to allow roll to rest in freezer for 10-15 minutes.

• Step 8

  Place slices onto a baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes until golden brown.

  

• Step 9

  Remove from oven, and immediately stick with a clean lollipop stick or chopstick.

  

• Step 10

  Serve and enjoy. Go team.
