Pumpkin Pizza Bites

Directions

1. Pour pizza mix in a large bowl, add yeast packet and stir well. Add warm water & olive oil and mix until dough comes together. Turn dough onto floured surface and knead until dough is smooth and elastic. Lightly oil a large bowl, place a dough ball in the bowl and turn to coat in oil. Cover and let rest for 30 minutes.

2. Once dough has risen, divide dough into 6 balls & roll each ball out to about ½" thick.

3. Place 3 pieces of pepperoni on the dough, then 1Tbsp of mozzarella cheese, and top with 3 more pieces of pepperoni. Pinch the edges together and roll the dough between your hands to make a ball of dough.

4. Cut 18 strips of kitchen twine (3 strips per pumpkin) at about 6" each. Lay them on top of each other, intersecting in the middle to make a wheel. Place dough centered over where the twine intersects. Tie each piece of twine in a knot on top of the dough, lightly pressing into the dough, but not pulling on the dough. Repeat this process with all 3 pieces of kitchen twine on all 6 balls of dough.

5. Bake for 10-15 minutes or until dough is cooked through.

6. Top each ball of dough with Fustini's olive oil, Tuscan spice blend, and your stick of choice for the stem!

7. Serve & Enjoy!
