Pizza Bubbles

1 roll of refrigerated or homemade pizza dough
pizza/marinara sauce
mozzarella cheese
toppings (i used ham & pineapple)
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp italian seasoning

roll pizza dough on a floured surface. use a pizza cutter to slice the dough into squares. place sauce, cheese and desired toppings on each square.
then carefully lift each square and wrap the dough around the toppings. pinch the dough to make sure each ball is sealed shut. then place them seam side down in a dish sprayed with pam. brush the tops of the balls with olive oil and sprinkle italian seasoning and parmesan cheese on top.
bake at 400 degrees for 15-20 mins or until golden brown. i made these with austin & james in boise and it was fun to have their help in the kitchen the whole time!
