Ingredients
1 package of Sweet Gourmet's pizza dough
20 frozen meatballs (homemade or store-bought)
1/4 cup of butter, melted
Olivelle Bruschetta for dipping
Directions
Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). This temperature will ensure that the meatballs cook thoroughly and the pizza dough becomes golden brown.
Thaw the meatballs: If using frozen meatballs, follow the package instructions to thaw them completely. You can also make homemade meatballs in advance and refrigerate them until ready to use.
Prepare the skewers: Soak wooden skewers in water for about 10 minutes. This will prevent them from burning in the oven. Alternatively, you can use metal skewers.
Divide the pizza dough: Roll out the pizza dough and cut long strips to sandwich and twist around the meatballs and skewers.
Assemble the skewers: Start with your strip of pizza dough folded then add a meatball, wrap the pizza dough around the skewer and feed it once through on the skewer, add your next meatball. Repeat this process with the remaining meatballs and dough.
Brush with butter : Place the assembled skewered meatballs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Lightly brush each skewer with the melted butter. This will give them a beautiful golden color and a shiny finish.
Bake in the oven: Transfer the baking sheet with the skewered meatballs to the preheated oven. Bake for approximately 15-20 minutes or until the pizza dough turns golden brown and the meatballs are cooked through. Make sure to rotate the skewers halfway through the cooking time for even browning.
Serve and enjoy: Once the skewered meatballs are cooked, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly. Arrange them on a serving platter and serve with Olivelle Bruschetta for dipping. The combination of the savory meatballs and the flavorful dipping sauce will delight your taste buds!
Recipe Note
You can also customize this recipe by adding your favorite herbs, spices, or cheese to the meatball mixture or brushing the skewers with garlic-infused olive oil before baking.
