Description

Ingredients

• 1 Pillsbury Classic Pizza Dough
• 3 sticks string cheese
• 1 egg whisked with 1 teaspoon water
• 1 8 ounce block cream cheese, softened
• 1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
• 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
• 1/2 cup ricotta cheese
• pinch of salt
• 1 cup pizza sauce
• 5 slices cooked bacon, crumbled
• 1 cup mini pepperoni
• 1 (8 ounce) block mozzarella cheese

Directions

• Preheat oven to 350ºF.
• Grease a 10-inch oven-safe non-stick skillet (or cast iron skillet) with some butter or non-stick baking spray.
• Brush egg wash over pieces of pizza dough.
• Set one piece of the string cheese on a square of dough.
• Attach opposing corners of the dough, then pinch around the edges to seal the dough. Pinch and roll into a ball.
• Set balls of dough around the edge of the buttered skillet, creating one row of 12.
• Combine cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, ricotta cheese, and salt.
• Spoon 1/4 cup pizza sauce in the bottom of the skillet.
• Spread the cream cheese mixture over top.
• Spread 1/2 cup pizza sauce over top and sprinkle on half of the bacon, half of the pepperoni, and half of the remaining mozzarella cheese.
• Bake for 25 minutes.
• Remove and top with remaining sauce, bacon, pepperoni, and mozzarella cheese.
• Return to oven and bake for 7-10 minutes until the pizza puffs are deep golden brown and the dip is hot and bubbly.
• While the dip is baking, cut the block of mozzarella cheese into 1/4 inch thick slices. Cut slices using number cutters, creating 1 though 12. Cut a minute hand and an hour hand for the clock too.
• When dip is ready, arrange the numbers on the pizza puffs and the hands in the center of the dip creating a clock.
• Serve immediately.
