Calories: 49kcal
Equipment
- 1 Parchment Paper Sheet
- 1 Toothpick to poke into the dough balls to help release steam
Ingredients
- 1 Crescent or Pie Crust Roll I used a Pie Dough in the pictures
- 20-25 pieces Mini Buffalo Mozzarella Balls aka Mozzarella Pearls
- Salt small pinch over each ball
- Black Pepper Ground small pinch over each ball
- ½ Tablespoon Oregano Dried spread over each ball
- 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
- ½ Tablespoon Sesame Seeds white or black or both
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 Fahrenheit (180 °C).
- Roll out your crescent or pie dough on a parchment lined baking sheet.1 Crescent or Pie Crust Roll
- Cut into same-sized rectangular. Each rectangular should be about 3×3 inches (8×8 cm) big. That should make about 20 to 25 rectangular.
- Separate each pie or crescent dough rectangular from each other and place them next to each other with a small distance from each other.
- Place on each rectangular a strained mini mozzarella ball in the center.20-25 pieces Mini Buffalo Mozzarella Balls
- Season each ball by sprinkling some salt, black pepper and oregano over them.Salt, Black Pepper Ground, ½ Tablespoon Oregano Dried
- Wrap the dough over the ball and seal the dough ending by twisting it a bit around. The balls should be well sealed so that cheese doesn't leak out. If cheese leaks out, it's ok too, it's not a big deal. Keep the sealed side at the bottom.
- Poke with a toothpick into each dough ball at the top so that the steam can release while they are baking.
- Spread some olive oil over each ball of dough and sprinkle the sesame seeds over the oil.1 Tablespoon Olive Oil, ½ Tablespoon Sesame Seeds
- Bake your mozzarella dough bites at 350 Fahrenheit (180 °C) for about 20 to 25 minutes, or until golden and baked.
- Leave them out to cool a bit and serve them warm or at room temperature with a dipping sauce.
