LOW-CARB PIZZA BITES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F.
• Poke the pepperoni slices into the bottoms of the mini-muffin cups, or butter the cups well if you aren't using the pepperoni (I find that oiling the pans doesn't work as well).
• Cream the cream cheese with a mixer until smooth and fluffy. Add eggs, garlic, and oregano, and beat until smooth.
• Mix the rest of the ingredients in by hand.
• Fill the muffin cups with the egg and cheese mixture.
• Bake for about 15-18 minutes, or until lightly browned on top and set in center. Remove from oven, and cool for a few minutes (5-10), then run a knife around the top to loosen (I use a plastic knife for my nonstick pan). Remove to a plate.

DOUBLE CHEESE PIZZA BITES

Steps:

• Mix 1 cup flour, sugar, and yeast in bowl. Stir in the water and oil until blended. Pulse 1 3/4 cups flour and salt in food processor to mix. Add yeast mixture and pulse until blended. With motor running, add remaining flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, until soft dough forms (you will need to process about 2 minutes). Dough is ready when it comes together in a ball.
• Dust work surface lightly with flour. Turn out dough and knead until smooth, 1 to 2 minutes. Roll dough into 1 1/2-inch balls in your hands. Then flatten into 3-inch rounds. Cover with clean kitchen towel; let rest 10 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 450°F Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Divide dough into 4 pieces. Wrap 3 in plastic; refrigerate. Cut remaining dough into 12 equal pieces; shape each into 1 1/2-inch ball. Arrange on baking sheets; flatten into 3-inch rounds. Lightly coat with nonstick cooking spray.
• Cut tomatoes into thin slices, then fan out slices. Top each pizza with 2 or 3 slices. Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon fontina, a little Parmesan, plus a few olive slivers and oregano leaves. Bake until bubbly and crust is golden, about 10 minutes. Repeat with remaining dough.
• Cook's Clue:.
• To keep dough from sticking to the food processor, lightly coat the inside of the bowl with nonstick cooking spray.
