Ingredients:

For the Pizza Dough:

• 2 1/4 tsp (1 packet) active dry yeast
• 1 1/2 cups warm water (110°F/43°C)
• 1 tsp sugar
• 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp salt

For the Pizza Cubes:

• 1 cup pizza sauce
• 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
• Your favorite pizza toppings (pepperoni, olives, bell peppers, etc.)
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 tbsp melted butter
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• Marinara sauce or ranch dressing for dipping (optional)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Pizza Dough:

• In a bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.
• In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Make a well in the center and pour in the yeast mixture and olive oil.
• Mix until the dough comes together, then knead on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
• Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1-1.5 hours, or until it doubles in size.

2. Prepare the Pizza Cubes:

• Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
• Punch down the risen dough and divide it into two equal portions.
• Roll out each portion into a rectangle on a floured surface, about 1/4 inch thick.
• Spread pizza sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
• Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese and your favorite pizza toppings over the sauce.
• Roll the dough tightly, starting from one of the longer sides.
• Slice the rolled dough into 1-inch cubes.

3. Bake the Pizza Cubes:

• Place the cubes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving space between each cube.
• Mix melted butter, garlic powder, and dried oregano in a bowl. Brush this mixture over the top of the pizza cubes.
• Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the top.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the cubes are golden brown and the cheese is melted.

4. Serve:

• Allow the pizza cubes to cool slightly before serving.
• Optionally, serve with marinara sauce or ranch dressing for dipping.
• Enjoy your delicious and bite-sized pizza cubes!
