Move over, Garlic Knots, I’ve found a new favorite use for pizza dough. And it’s as far as you can get from the shape of a slice. I’ve bundled teaspoons of creamy ricotta inside balls of pizza dough that are then brushed with melted honey butter and baked

Ingredients

1 1/2 lbs. store-bought or homemade pizza dough, at room temperature
6 oz. firm ricotta cheese, cold
4 Tablespoons unsalted butter, plus additional for greasing pan
1/3 cup honey

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375 ºF.
Grease a 9" pie plate or baking dish with butter.
Tear the dough into 20 to 24 roughly equal size pieces.
Roll out each piece of dough to approximately 2" in diameter. Place 2 teaspoons of ricotta in the center of each piece of dough, stretch and fold up the edges, and pinch to seal.
Place each bundle seam side down in the prepared baking dish, arranging them so they touch each other. (Note: It's a bit like putting together a puzzle to get them all to fit, but don't be afraid to switch the bundles around so that they all have ample space to plump when they bake.)
Melt the butter and honey in a small saucepan, whisking to combine.
Liberally brush the tops of the bites with the melted honey butter.
Bake the bites for 20 to 25 minutes until golden brown.
Remove from oven and brush one final time with remaining honey butter. Serve warm.
