Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Ingredients
Gather Ingredients: Ensure all ingredients are ready and within reach. If using frozen meatballs, make sure they are thawed and at room temperature.
Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it’s hot and ready for baking.
Step 2: Prepare the Dough
Roll Out the Dough: On a lightly floured surface, roll out the premade pizza dough to about 1/4-inch thickness. If you’re using your own dough, make sure it’s well-kneaded and rolled out evenly.
Cut the Dough: Using a round cookie cutter or a glass, cut out circles of dough that are approximately 3 inches in diameter. You should be able to get around 12-15 circles depending on the size of your cutter.
