Step-by-step

• Pull the small pieces of pizza dough out into little plates.
• Add about a pinch of cheese, a teaspoon of pizza sauce, and cut-up pepperoni in small slivers (about six slivers per dumpling).
• Once they are all filled, pinch the tops up so the tops are sticking up (they might look like Hershey kisses).
• Set them on a nonstick cooking tray or one sprayed with canola oil.
• Preheat oven to 350°.
• Set the dumplings in the oven and cook for 15 to 20 minutes.
• Before taking them out, make sure all the dough is done. They should be a golden brown color if they are done.
• If not, put them in for another five minutes and check!
