INSTRUCTIONS

Meatballs:

Mix the salt, sugar, garlic pepper seasoning, sesame oil, and the ground pork together.

Mix the chicken broth and the cornstarch together, and then mix it in with the ground pork mixture.

Set aside in the fridge for about 15 minutes and take it out.

Roll the ground pork into mini balls about 1.5 cm in size each, should be able to make roughly 20 mini meatballs.

Preparation:

Using a paper towel, wipe a light layer of butter all around a flat rectangular baking pan (measures 8 inches by 10 inches).

Roll out one can of crescent dough and seal the perforations on the baking pan. Cut off the excess dough hanging off the pan (leave a 1 cm edge of dough hanging) and fill in the other areas without dough using the excess dough. Press and seal the pieces together.

Spread the pizza sauce on the dough. Do not need to put the pizza sauce on the 1 cm edge.

Add the cheddar and mozzarella cheeses, then add the green peppers, yellow peppers, red onions, mushrooms, and meatballs, spread evenly around the pizza.

Roll up the 1 cm edge and press it down inwards.

Pre-heat the oven to 375°F (190°C), and bake for 20 minutes or until the dough is ready and the meatballs are fully cooked.

Note: If you are using a different shape and/or size pan, make sure you are not changing the thickness of the original dough from the packaging.
