Sunnys Pizza Bites Recipes

SUNNY'S EASY FREEZE AND BAKE 24/7 MINI PIZZAS

Steps:

• Divide and spread the pizza sauce among the English muffin halves. Sprinkle the mozzarella in an even layer over the top of the sauce on each.
• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place the muffin halves next to each other in a row on one end. Spread out the pepperoni, peppers and onions, bacon, ham and pineapple in separate rows in a single layer next to the muffins. Sprinkle the oregano over everything. Freeze, uncovered, until the muffins are hard, 1 to 2 hours.
• Tightly wrap each English muffin half with plastic wrap and place in freezer-safe bags. Remove the toppings to separate freezer-safe bags. Freeze the muffins and toppings until ready to use.
• When ready to cook, preheat the oven or toaster oven to 400 degrees F. Remove as many English muffin halves as you like from the freezer. Top each base with the toppings of your choice. Bake until the cheese is melted and the muffins are cooked through, 15 to 18 minutes. Remove and rest 2 minutes before eating.

ZUCCHINI PIZZA BITES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and spray with cooking spray.
• Slice the zucchini 1/4-inch thick; you should get about 24 slices. Place the slices on the prepared baking sheet and sprinkle with salt. Top each slice with 1/2 teaspoon marinara sauce and 1 teaspoon mozzarella.
• Bake until the cheese is melted and bubbly, about 8 minutes.

SUNNY'S EASY CHILI CHEESE FRENCH BREAD PIZZA

Steps:

• For the pizza: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Remove a bit of bread from the inside of each bread half, leaving about 1 inch of bread in the base. Brush the insides and edges with the garlic butter and place the bread on a baking sheet. Bake until golden on the edges, about 10 minutes. Remove from the oven.
• Evenly distribute the Chili along the length of the bread. Sprinkle the cheese over the top and arrange the jalapenos so there will be one slice on each serving. Bake until the cheese is melted and the edges of the bread are golden, 15 to 18 minutes.
• For the garnish: Top the pizza with the scallions, cilantro, a few shakes of hot sauce and a drizzle of crema. Slice each half into 8 pieces. Serve immediately.
• Add 2 tablespoons olive or cooking oil, 2 1/2 teaspoons salt, a few grinds of black pepper and the onion to a large pot over medium heat and cook until tender. Add the chili powder and beef and cook, breaking up the beef into bits, until cooked through. Stir in the tomatoes and chiles and the beans, then cover and cook for 20 minutes. To thicken the chili further, simmer, uncovered, 10 minutes more.

SUNNY'S EASY AS 1-2-3 PIZZA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• For the dough: In a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, add the flour, yogurt and seasoning blend and mix until combined and tacky. Scrape off the dough from the paddle and replace the paddle with the kneading (dough hook) attachment. Sprinkle in a bit more flour and knead on medium until a ball forms. On a floured surface, roll out the dough to a big thin circle or divide the dough in half to make 2 pizzas.
• For the toppings: Place the pizza on a baking sheet or pizza stone. Leaving a 1-inch border around the edge of the dough, top the pizza evenly with the sauce and cheese, then the selected toppings. Bake until the edges are golden brown, 8 to 12 minutes.

PEPPERONI PIZZA BITES WITH HOMEMADE MARINARA SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with foil and lightly grease the foil with olive oil. Remove the pizza dough from the refrigerator and let sit at room temperature for 30 minutes.
• In a small bowl combine the garlic, Parmesan, parsley and 1/4 cup olive oil. Set aside.
• Lightly dust a work surface with flour and roll out the pizza dough into a 12-by-14-inch rectangle. Arrange the dough with the 14-inch side parallel to you. With a ruler, mark every 4 inches along the 12-inch side. Cut the dough straight across at the marks to make three 4-inch-wide strips. Brush top of the strips with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Shingle the pepperoni slices over the dough strips. Sprinkle 3/4 to 1 cup of the mozzarella in a line down the center of each strip.
• Roll up each dough strip into a long log, as you would for cinnamon rolls. It is easiest to begin by folding the bottom of the dough up over the cheese; if there is any cheese sticking out, stuff it back into the roll. Continue rolling the dough over itself until it forms a log with dough on the outside and all of the pepperoni and mozzarella on the inside. Pinch the seams together, then pinch the sides together. Lightly brush the logs all over with olive oil and transfer them, seam-side down, to the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake until golden brown, 12 minutes. Brush the tops of the logs generously with the garlic mixture and return to the oven for another 3 minutes, until the garlic is very fragrant but not yet browned. Let cool for 10 minutes.
• Transfer the pepperoni rolls to a cutting board and slice into 1 1/2-inch pieces. Serve immediately with marinara sauce.
• Heat the olive oil over medium heat in a medium saucepot. Add the onions and salt and saute until softened, 2 minutes. Add the garlic and cook an additional 30 seconds until fragrant but not browned. Stir in the tomato paste, oregano and crushed red pepper; cook 30 seconds to toast the tomato paste and spices. Stir in the chopped tomatoes. Bring the sauce to a boil, reduce the heat to medium low and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring often. Remove from the heat and adjust the seasoning with salt to taste. Keep warm until ready to serve, or cool completely and refrigerate in an airtight container.

SUNNY'S CRUNCHY PEANUT BUTTER S'MORE BITES

Steps:

• In a large bowl, add the peanut butter, butter and powdered sugar and beat with a whisk or electric beater until smooth. Using a teaspoon measure, scoop the mixture and form into balls, then press into a coin shape the diameter of a quarter. Refrigerate to set up dough cookies, about 30 minutes.
• To make bites, dip peanut butter coins in melted chocolate then toss in graham cracker crumbs until coated, double dip and double coat if you feel dangerous. Arrange the coated coins on a wire rack and refrigerate for about 30 more minutes to set. Add the marshmallow fluff to a pastry bag fitted with a star tip. Remove the coins from the refrigerator and squeeze about 1 teaspoon of marshmallow fluff into the center of half of the coins. If you don't have a pastry bag, use a plastic bag, fill it with fluff and cut 1 corner off and dollop that way. Then top each half with another coin to make a sandwich and place return to the refrigerator to set, about 1 hour.
• Options: chop coconut flakes and add them to the graham cracker crumbs to use for coating.
• Add puffed rice cereal into the peanut butter, butter and powdered sugar for a bit more texture and crunch.
