Preparation

  1. Step 1

    1. Preheat oven to 375°F.

    Step 2

    2. Roll the dough out about ¼ inch thick. Cut it into eighths (2 will be left over).

    3. Grease a 6-cup muffin tin. Line each cup with a piece of dough, letting the excess hang over the sides.

    Step 4

    4. Fill each with 1 tablespoon of sauce and 1 meatball. Divide the cheeses equally among the cups.

    Step 5

    5. Gather each bit of excess dough up around the filling, pinching it together at the top.

    6. Whisk the egg with the milk to make a wash. Brush it onto each pouch.

    Step 7

    7. Bake until golden, 15 to 20 minutes.
