Cheesy Meatball Pull-Apart Pizza Ring

• servings: 4 servings
• active time: 10 minutes
• total time: 30 minutes

Ingredients

1 pizza crust (I used a DeLallo kit – THE BEST – and used half of the dough to make one pizza ring)

1/2 cup ricotta cheese (or cream cheese if you want a smoother texture)

15-20 meatballs (I used a store bought, yummy, clean-ingredient, pre-made chicken meatball)

1-2 cups shredded Mozzarella cheese

1 beaten egg

dry oregano and sea salt for sprinkling on top

marinara sauce for dipping

Directions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Roll the pizza dough out onto a piece of parchment. Cut three small crossing lines through the middle to make a star shape.

In the space between the center cuts and the edge of the crust (kinda looks like a wheel), spread the ricotta, place the meatballs, and sprinkle the Mozzarella cheese.

Gently pull the point of each star back and tuck it under the outer crust, rolling both sides inward so they overlap. (SEE VIDEO – it will be easier to understand.) Repeat this process with all the cut sections. Now go back around and tuck the remaining outer edges up and inward. It should look like a wreath.

Brush with the beaten egg and sprinkle with oregano and sea salt. Bake at 400 degrees for 20 minutes or until golden brown.

Place a bowl or marinara in the center of the ring and go to town with that meatball pull-apart pizza ring!
