PIZZA PUFFS
What's more fun than a pizza puff? Skip the kind sold in the frozen aisle and try this homemade version. You can substitute any meat or vegetable for the pepperoni and any cheese for the mozzarella. -Vivi Taylor, Middleburg, Florida

Steps:
- 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, cheese and pepperoni. Place seam side down on greased baking sheets; bake until light golden brown, 10-15 minutes. Cool slightly., 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; if desired, sprinkle with red pepper flakes and Parmesan., Freeze option: Cover and freeze unbaked pizza puffs on waxed paper-lined baking sheets until firm. Transfer to a freezer container; seal and return to freezer. To use, preheat oven to 325°; bake pizza puffs on greased baking sheets as directed, increasing time as necessary to heat through.

APPETIZER ESSENTIALS: AWESOME PIZZA BITES
I have seen pizza bites that use a pepperoni as a cup to hold the cheese and sauce, and I have seen them made with all the ingredients mixed into a batter, and cooked up as pizza muffins. So, I thought that I would combine both techniques: A pepperoni cup with a muffin-like batter filling... The best of both worlds. The fillings...

Steps:
- 1. PREP/PREPARE
- 2. The spice mix will make more than you need for this one recipe. If you do not wish to make this much (it is a pretty good, all-round, Italian spice mix), just add pinch or two of each one of the herbs into the flour and combine. Or, if you have a good store-bought Italian spice mix, use it.
- 3. I am using, what are called, sandwich-style pepperonis, and measure 3-inches (7.6cm) in diameter; which is twice as big as a normal pepperoni. That size is perfect for this recipe.
- 4. For this recipe, you will need a mini muffin tin. Mine is a Wilton mini-muffin pan that can bake 24 at a time.
- 5. Gather your ingredients (mise en place).
- 6. Place a rack in the bottom position, and preheat the oven to 375 (190c).
- 7. Cut in to the large pepperonis on the left, right, top, and bottom. You want to go in about 1/2-inch (1/2cm).
- 8. Add them to the muffin pan. The cuts fold over each other, and form the walls for the pizza bites.
- 9. Chef's Note: If the pepperoni slices are real thin, you might want to use two per cup... that is what I did.
- 10. Mix the dry batter ingredients (flour, baking powder, spice mix, salt, parmesan cheese), in a large bowl.
- 11. Whisk the milk and egg together in another bowl. I just use a measuring cup.
- 12. Add the wet ingredients to the dry.
- 13. Mix together with a fork, or wooden spoon until combined.
- 14. Add about 1 1/2 teaspoons of the batter to each of the pepperoni cups.
- 15. Sprinkle a bit of mozzarella on the tops.
- 16. Place in the oven, and bake until the cheese is bubbly, and beginning to turn brown in spots, about 12 - 14 minutes.
- 17. PLATE/PRESENT
- 18. Serve while nice and warm, with a bit of marinara sauce on the side for dipping. Enjoy.
- 19. Keep the faith, and keep cooking.
APPETIZER ESSENTIALS: PUFF PIZZA BITES
These are easy/peasy to make and can be assembled, baked and on the table in 20 quick minutes. Besides the pizza stuff, you will need some puff pastry. You can make your own or do what the rest of the civilized world does and pick them up at the grocer. Make them with Italian sausage, pepperoni, go veggie... Whatever. I like to make a batch of these when we are downstairs watching a movie (which I did last evening), and there are never any leftovers. FYI: These can be frozen and reheated. So, you ready... Let's get into the kitchen.

Steps:
- PREP/PREPARE
- If you want a good pizza sauce, here are two good ones: https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/sauce-spread/other-sauce-spread/italian-essentials-awesome-pizza-sauce.html?r=1 https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/sauce-spread/other-sauce-spread/pizza-essentials-the-ultimate-sweet-pizza-sauce.html?r=3
- Gather your ingredients (mise en place).
- Whisk the egg yolk and water together and reserve.
- Place a rack in the middle position and preheat the oven to 365f (185c).
- Defrost your puff pastry and cut into 9 squares.
- They do not have to be perfect, just eyeball it. In addition, a pizza cutter is a great way to accomplish this.
- Add a dollop of your favorite pizza sauce.
- Add some meat and/or veggies... I am using pepperoni, and precooked Italian sausage.
- The images for the next steps did not turn out; however, we are almost there: Sprinkle on some parmesan cheese. Take two opposite corners bring them up and pinch together in the middle. Brush a bit of the egg mixture over each one.
- Place into the preheated oven and bake until golden brown, about 15 - 20 minutes.
- PLATE/PRESENT
- Allow to rest for 5 minutes, then serve with some additional pizza sauce for dipping. Enjoy.
- Keep the faith, and keep cooking.
