Ingredients
1
tube refrigerated pizza dough
40
slices
pepperoni
I used turkey pepperoni
10
mozzarella cheese sticks
2
tablespoons
butter or margarine
melted
1/4
teaspoon
dried oregano
1/4
teaspoon
dried basil
1/4
teaspoon
dried parsley
1/4
teaspoon
garlic powder
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.
Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with tinfoil and spraying it with cooking spray.
Unroll the pizza dough onto the baking sheet (don't worry about trying to roll it out thinner at this point, just get it flat).
Cut the dough into 10 equal rectangles.
Place four pepperoni slices and one cheese stick on each rectangle, and then pinch the dough to seal it around the cheese and meat.
Lay the pizza sticks, seam side down, about an inch apart on the baking sheet.
In a small bowl, combine the melted butter and the oregano, basil, parsley and garlic powder.
Brush it onto each pizza stick. (I used a spoon to get the remaining goodies out of the bottom of the bowl and spread them out, too.)
Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until the dough is golden brown on top.
Let the pizza sticks rest for at least 10 minutes before digging in.
