Pizza Skewers Recipe
Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F. Lightly grease a nonstick baking sheet.
Step 2: On a clean work surface dusted with flour, roll dough into a 12″ square, roughly 1/2″ thick. (Flour as needed to prevent sticking.)
Step 3: Spread 1 cup of the pizza sauce over dough and top with 1-1/2 cups of the cheese and half of the additional toppings (if using).
Step 4: Carefully roll dough and toppings from one end to the other, forming a log. Cut log into 8 equal (1″) rounds and place on the prepared baking sheet. Bake 12 minutes.
Step 5: While rounds are baking, toss remaining sauce, cheese, and toppings (if using) in a bowl.
Step 6: Remove rounds from oven and top each with a small amount of cheese mixture. Bake an additional 5 minutes, or until cheese is golden.
Step 7: To make the sauce, melt butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Strain through a mesh sieve into a bowl, discarding the solids. Place remaining drawn butter and garlic in a small saucepan and simmer over medium-low heat 20 minutes.
Step 8: Thread rounds onto skewers and serve warm, with garlic butter dipping sauce.
