Mozzarella Nuggets

I'll be honest.  I started out attempting a recipe I saw on pinterest for fried mozzarella.  The recipe seemed a little too easy to be true.  And it was.  The results could be featured on "Pinterest Fails".  But I still wanted that cheesy goodness to go with my dinner, so I scoured my fridge and came up with these.

Here's what you'll need:
8 sticks of string cheese
1 tube thin-crust pizza dough
warm marinara sauce, for serving

Preheat oven to 425.

Cut each string cheese into three pieces.

Unroll the pizza crust and cut it into 24 squares.

Place on piece of cheese, diagonally, on a square of dough.

Roll the dough around the cheese until it's covered.  Then, squeeze tightly to seal the dough.  This is THE important step.  Some of mine weren't sealed, and the cheese leaked out when I baked them.  Place them on a sheet tray.

Bake at 425 for 10-12 minutes, until the dough is golden brown.

Serve with the marinara, as a snack or appetizer.  I served them with pasta as the bread.

Enjoy!
