Cheesy Meatball Pull-Apart Pizza Ring

• pizza crust (I used a DeLallo kit – THE BEST – and used half of the dough to make one pizza ring)↗1
• ricotta cheese (or cream cheese if you want a smoother texture)↗0.5 cup
• meatballs (I used a store bought, yummy, clean-ingredient, pre-made chicken meatball)15
• shredded Mozzarella cheese1
• beaten egg1
• dry oregano and sea salt for sprinkling on top↗
• marinara sauce for dipping↗

Step-by-step instructions

1. 1

   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.

2. 2

   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.

3. 3

   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.

4. 4

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

5. 5

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