# Instructions:

Preheat the oven to 200°C. Line a baking sheet with foil and lightly coat with nonstick spray.

Slice string cheese into thirds. In a small bowl, combine dried oregano, garlic powder, and grated parmesan cheese.
03 -
Unroll the pizza crust and cut evenly into 24 squares.
04 -
Place a cheese piece in the centre of each dough square. Gather edges over the cheese and pinch tightly to seal.

Arrange the dough balls seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Brush tops with melted butter and sprinkle with the parmesan herb mixture. Gently press a slice of pepperoni onto each bite.

# Notes:

Pinch the seams securely to prevent cheese from leaking. Briefly chilling the dough before cutting ensures clean, uniform squares.
02 -
Experiment with alternative fillings such as mozzarella, cooked sausage, olives, or diced bell peppers to personalize each bite.
