Ingredients for Vegetable Pizza Balls (Serves 4):

Vegetable Pizza Balls for Dieting

 

  • 500 grams (half a kilo) of pizza dough

  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

  • 1 onion, finely chopped

  • 1 green bell pepper, sliced into rings

  • 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced into rings

  • 1 tablespoon melted butter

  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder

  • ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning

  • ½ cup pizza sauce


How to Prepare Vegetable Pizza Balls for Dieting:

Start by placing the pizza dough on a smooth, floured surface. Roll it out using a rolling pin into a large circular shape. Then, using a cutter, divide the dough into equal-sized small circles.

On each circle, place a small amount of mozzarella cheese, yellow pepper, green pepper, and chopped onion. Carefully fold each filled dough circle into a ball shape. Repeat the process until all the dough is used.

Next, prepare a baking tray by greasing it with a bit of oil to prevent sticking. Arrange the dough balls close to each other on the tray.

In a medium bowl, mix the melted butter with garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and herbs. Stir the mixture well until combined. Using a brush, coat the stuffed dough balls with this mixture.

Preheat the oven to 180°C (356°F), and place the tray inside for about 15 minutes, or until the balls turn a golden color.

Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly. Serve to your family and enjoy both the delicious flavor and the many health benefits.
