How to cook deliciously - Pizza Puffs

1. Stage

Preheat oven to 400°. Shape dough into 1-1/2-in. balls; flatten into 1/8-in.-thick circles. Place 1 pepperoni slice and 1 cheese cube in center of each circle; wrap dough around pepperoni and cheese. Pinch edges to seal; shape into a ball. Repeat with remaining dough, pepperoni and cheese. Place seam side down on greased baking sheets; bake until light golden brown, 10-15 minutes. Cool slightly.

2. Stage

Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, melt butter over low heat. Add garlic and salt, taking care not to brown butter or garlic; brush over puffs. Serve with marinara sauce, and sprinkle with red pepper flakes and Parmesan cheese if desired.
