Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Roll out the pizza dough and cut into 2-inch squares.
Place a small amount of pizza sauce, cheese, and pepperoni in the center of each square.
Fold the corners up and pinch the seams to seal, forming a ball.
Place the poppers seam-side down on the baking sheet.
Brush the tops with olive oil and sprinkle with garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and Parmesan cheese.
Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until golden brown.
Serve warm with extra pizza sauce for dipping.
