Directions

1. 1
   Roll out about a pound of dough (size of a grapefruit), making sure to flour the surface first so things dont stick.
2. 2
   Add your favorite sauce (Im liking tomato basil marinara right now) and shredded mozzarella.
3. 3
   I added Volpi gourmet pepperoni to half of the pizza.
4. 4
   That right there is some good stuff.
5. 5
   The next step is to roll the pizza toward you.

   After its rolled, its time to pinch it closed.
9. 9
   Pinch away to seal it up.

    If a little bit of the ingredients stick out, thats okay.

    It makes it all cook together even better.
12. 12
    Now its time to cut the loaf.
13. 13
    I tried my kitchen scissors, but that wasnt happening; so I went to the garage and grabbed my husbands fishing line.
14. 14
    Now were talkin!
15. 15
    Just wrap the line around a 1/2-inch section, pull tight, and youll get a perfect cut every time.
16. 16
    Place these bad boy rolls onto a greased baking sheet (parchment paper would work even better).

    Bake at 400 degrees for 13-15 minutes.
18. 18
    Bake until they are golden brown and the cheese has had a chance to caramelize.

    These babies have to cool almost completely before you insert the stick.
20. 20
    I learned the hard way on the first batch.
21. 21
    My little pizza pops drooped and sagged and slid down the stick.

    So, be patient.

    It will be so worth it!
