This warm White Pizza Dip has pizza dough dipping rolls with a warm cheesy center that is an easy appetizer and is made all in one dish!

AN EASY CHEESY WARM DIP RECIPE

Although warm dips can be eaten any time during the year, I tend to make and eat them during the cooler months. There is just something about a gooey, warm cheese dip and fresh soft pizza dough dipping rolls that just screams comfort food. It’ll warm you up from the inside out!

TIPS FOR MAKING WHITE PIZZA DIP.

This Cheesy Pizza Skillet Dip could really be a meal in itself! You can get creative with what you add in. Pepperoni or cooked and crumbled spicy sausage are all great additions.
Also, if you love garlic as much as I do, try melting some salted butter and stir in a little minced garlic or garlic powder and brushing it on top of the rolls. So good!
I’ve made this in a cast iron skillet as well as a pie dish. They both work just fine. Just make sure whatever you use that it is oven safe.
I like to butter the baking dish to give it extra flavor but you can use nonstick cooking spray instead.

INGREDIENTS NEEDED: (SEE RECIPE CARD BELOW FOR THE FULL RECIPE)

refrigerated pizza crust – you can use Homemade Pizza Dough if you prefer.
mozzarella cheese
cream cheese – if you forgot to set out your cream cheese to soften, see my tips on How to Soften Cream Cheese Quickly.
sour cream
minced garlic – I prefer fresh garlic for this but you can use the jarred stuff.
fresh basil – you could use dried but I think fresh works so good in this! You’d use about a teaspoon.
red pepper flakes (optional)
black pepper
salted butter

refrigerated pizza crust, cream cheese, mozzarella cheese, sour cream, garlic basil, butter.

HOW TO MAKE WHITE PIZZA DIP:

Preheat oven to 350F degrees. Generously butter an oven-safe, 9-inch skillet or round baking/pie dish. Set aside. In a medium bowl, mix together cream cheese, sour cream, garlic, basil, red pepper flakes, black pepper, and mozzarella until evenly blended. Set aside

Roll each square into a ball.

Then arrange dough balls around the edge of the skillet or baking dish, making a circle.

Drop the cheese mixture in the center and spread out all the way to touching the pizza dough balls.

Sprinkle with 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese and a pinch of black pepper.

Bake for 20-25 minutes or until cheese has a light golden color and dough balls are fluffy.

This look’s so good but I don’t have the pizza dough. Can biscuits be used instead?
