Quick & Easy Pepperoni Mozzarella Bites
I've been seeing that 2 ingredient dough going around the innerwebs and although I'm not a purist, I typically do go for the “real” deal when it comes to bread or baked goods. I want all of the gluten, yeast, and carbohydrates.
I also love, probably just as much, when scanning through a cookbook and realize I have all of the ingredients in the fridge or pantry.
This recipe came across my desk (read: sitting on the couch) and immediately jumped up and tossed them together in a matter of minutes.
