Description

Imagine biting into a miniature burst of pizza perfection! These savory pizza bites offer a delightful combination of textures and flavors that will captivate your taste buds. The slightly crisp exterior yields to a soft, chewy interior, creating a satisfying mouthfeel with every bite.

The star of these morsels is the vibrant filling, a tantalizing blend of spicy chorizo, fragrant Italian herbs, and creamy, melted mozzarella. The spicy chorizo adds a delightful kick that awakens the palate, while the Italian herbs provide a warm and comforting base. The mozzarella cheese binds it all together, creating a gooey, cheesy center that oozes with flavor.

Crafted from a simple dough of almond flour, egg, and mozzarella, these pizza bites are surprisingly easy to make. The mozzarella lends the dough a unique elasticity, making it pliable and easy to work with. Simply combine the ingredients, shape the dough into discs, and fill them with the delectable mixture.

A little patience is all it takes to seal these flavor-packed pockets. Feel free to customize these pizza bites to your liking. Instead of chorizo, consider using pepperoni, ham, bacon, or pancetta for a different flavor profile.

Each variation offers its own unique twist on the classic pizza experience. Naturally gluten-free, these pizza bites can also be made vegan by substituting the dairy mozzarella with a plant-based alternative. Simply omit the egg and increase the psyllium husk to 2 tablespoons, mixed with 6 tablespoons of water, to maintain the dough's structure.

Serve these pizza bites as a party appetizer, a snack for the whole family, or a light meal alongside a refreshing arugula salad. To elevate the experience, pair them with a homemade spicy tomato sauce for dipping. The combination of the savory bites and the tangy sauce is simply irresistible.

Each bite is a celebration of flavor, texture, and simple culinary pleasures.

Instructions

    1.
    Add the psyllium husk and 3 tablespoons of water to a small bowl. Stir then set aside until a thick gel forms. In a large bowl, add the almond flour, garlic powder, oregano, thyme, sea salt, and a good grind of black pepper. Use a whisk to mix the dry ingredients together.
    2.
    Add 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese to a heatproof bowl. Microwave the cheese on high for 30-second bursts to make sure the cheese doesn burn. Give it a stir and add in the psyllium gel and egg, stir to loosely combine, but don worry if it doesn mix through.
    3.
    Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Pour in the melted cheese and egg mixture. Use your hands to gather the ingredients and form a ball of pizza dough.
    4.
    Preheat the oven to 400°F/ 200°C. Transfer the pizza dough between 2 sheets of baking paper. Use a rolling pin to roll out the dough to ⅓-inch/ 4mm thickness, peel back the top layer and use a cookie cutter approximately 3.5-inch / 9cm diameter to cut out 12 discs. You will need to roll out the leftovers again to yield more discs.
    5.
    In a small bowl, mix 1 tablespoon tomato concentrate with 2 tablespoons of water to form a loose paste. Roughly chop the chorizo. Smear a small amount in the center of each disc. Sprinkle oregano over the tomato paste along with a sprinkle of shredded mozzarella and a few chorizo pieces.
    6.
    Hold the disc in the palm of one hand and gather the edges of the disc by pinching them together to seal. Use any leftover dough to seal any gaps or tears. Place on the baking tray and repeat with the remaining discs.
    7.
    Bake in the center of the oven for 12-15 minutes or until the tops are golden and crisp. Serve immediately as they are with some fresh basil, or alongside a small bowl of marinara sauce.
