Ingredients

  • 9oz / 250g Premade Pizza Dough
  • 10 tbsp Leftover Chilli (or Bolognese)
  • 10 1/2" cubes Cheese (cheddar or mozzarella work great)
  • 3 tbsp Unsalted Butter, melted
  • 1 heaped tsp Fresh Parsley, finely diced + extra for garnish
  • 1 heaped tsp Garlic, minced
  • Sour Cream, for dipping
  • Salt & Black Pepper
  • Oil Spray

Instructions

  • In a bowl, combine your butter, parsley, and garlic with a good pinch of salt and pepper. Place to one side.
  • Roll out your dough into a long thin log shape and slice into 10 identical chunks, around 1.5" each. Stretch out and flatten the chunks of dough and place 1 tbsp of Chilli in each. Top with a cube of cheese then fold into a ball shape, ensuring the seam is tightly fastened. 
  • Spray an oven tray with olive oil and place on your dough balls. Liberally brush with garlic butter and pop in the oven at 200C/390F for 8-12mins or until golden brown. 
  • Serve with a pot of sour cream!
