Ingredients
Instructions
- Grease 1 large cookie sheet and unroll pizza dough, cutting the rectangle in half crosswise, then cutting 8 (1-inch) strips.
- Place strips apart on the cookie sheet and brush with margarine.
- Sprinkle evenly with pizza seasonings and put into a 350° oven for 11 to 17 minutes.
- Bring out long enough to sprinkle cheese on top and return to melt.
- Serve immediately with warm pizza sauce to dip.
Tips & Substitutions
For added flavor, consider using garlic butter instead of margarine when brushing the strips. You can also substitute the Mozzarella with Cheddar or a blend of cheeses for a different taste. If you don't have pizza seasonings on hand, Italian seasoning works well as a substitute. For a fun twist, add pepperoni or diced veggies to the cheese topping.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these Pizza Dippers warm with a side of pizza sauce for dipping. They make a great appetizer for game nights or family gatherings. Pairing with a fresh salad or a fruit platter can balance the meal. For a fun twist, serve alongside Cream Cheese Squares for dessert.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover Pizza Dippers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 5-10 minutes, or until warmed through. This method helps retain their crispiness compared to microwaving.
