High Protein Pizza Bites

I’m obsessed with these high protein pizza bites! They taste just as good as an amazing cheese pizza but they’re even more fun to eat! I personally don’t have kids, but I feel like these would be a great way to get kids to eat protein! The high protein pizza dough is made with vital wheat gluten, and the stretchy soy mozzarella is made with silken tofu! Both are really easy to make!

Ingredients

• High Protein Pizza Dough – making your own pizza dough might sound intimidating if you’ve never done it before, but trust me, it’s actually really easy! This recipe has a lot of proving (resting) time, so if you’re wanting this for dinner, make sure you’re starting the dough early in the day! I use vital wheat gluten to add protein to my pizza dough, and it ends up tasting and feeling just like a really great pizza crust. You don’t have to make pizza bites with this dough; you could also just make a nice pizza! I find it pretty easily makes a 16″ diameter pizza!
• Stretchy Soy Mozzarella – this is a super easy to make vegan mozzarella recipe! It has great flavor and a good stretch, thanks to the tapioca starch! I use silken tofu as the main ingredient which is why it has pretty good macros for a vegan cheese. It also browns nicely when you broil it 🙂
• Pizza Sauce – everyone has their own favorite kind of pizza sauce, so choose your favorite! I like a sweeter pizza sauce for this recipe because the soy mozzarella is a bit tangy and salty.

Instructions

• Make the high protein pizza dough per the recipe linked above. This recipe requires a decent amount of proving (rest) time, so make sure you’re taking that into account when planning your meal.

• Make the stretchy soy mozzarella per the recipe linked above.

• Pre-heat the oven to 400 F (204 C).
• Spray the muffin tin with a bit of oil to prevent sticking.
• Divide the high protein pizza dough across the 12 muffin cups. Press them down so that they touch the sides of the cup.

• Place a small amount of pizza sauce in the middle of the pizza dough. Try to keep it in the middle so it doesn’t ooze to the bottom of the muffin cups.

• Divide the stretchy soy mozzarella across the 12 muffin cups.

• Bake for 25 – 30 minutes until the bottoms are fully cooked. I also recommend broiling for a couple minutes to brown the cheese 🙂

You can also make these fun pizza skulls if you’re feeling spooky!
