2 tablespoons sugar

1/4 cup olive oil

1 batch of homemade pizza dough or store-bought

1/4 cup butter

1 garlic clove, sliced in half

2 cups marinara sauce

Instructions Prepare Pizza Dough Add warm water to a large bowl, stir in yeast and sugar. Allow to stand 5 minutes or until yeast starts to bubble. Add olive oil and stir to combine. Add 1 cup of flour and mix until combined. Add salt and 1 cup of flour. Mix until dough starts to pull away from bowl, adding flour 1/4 cup at a time until dough ball forms. Pour onto a lightly floured surface. Knead for 3 minutes, adding flour as needed until dough is no longer sticky. Cover and allow to rise for 30 minutes to 1 hour. Punch dough down and knead to remove air. Divide into 32 equal pieces. Roll each piece to a small round. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Add a meatball and a slice of cheese to each dough circle and pinch seams together. Roll into a ball. Place into a greased cast iron skillet (or baking pan). Repeat with remaining ingredients. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Meanwhile, melt butter in a small pan over low and add garlic slices to pan. Cook for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside. Brush baked Meatball Poppers with garlic butter. Serve with marinara sauce for dipping. Nutrition Information: Yield: 8 Serving Size: 1
