Prepare the Baking Sheet: Lightly grease a baking sheet with olive oil or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Place Dough Circles: Place each dough circle onto the baking sheet, leaving some space between them.
Add Marinara Sauce: Spoon about a teaspoon of marinara sauce onto the center of each dough circle.
Add Meatballs: Cut the mini meatballs in half (or keep them whole if preferred) and place one half on top of the marinara sauce on each circle.
Sprinkle with Cheese: Generously sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the meatballs, followed by a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese.
Season the Bites: In a small bowl, mix the olive oil or melted butter with garlic powder and Italian seasoning. Brush this mixture over the edges of each pizza bite to add flavor and help them brown nicely.
Step 4: Bake the Pizza Bites
Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and melted.
Check for Doneness: Keep an eye on them in the last few minutes to avoid over-browning. The edges should be nicely golden.
Step 5: Serve
Remove from Oven: Once baked, remove the pizza bites from the oven and let them cool for a minute.
Garnish: If desired, garnish with freshly chopped basil or parsley for an added pop of color and flavor.
Serve with Extra Marinara: Serve with extra marinara sauce on the side for dipping, enhancing the pizza experience.
