  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Unroll the refrigerated pizza dough onto a clean, lightly floured surface and cut into 2-inch squares.
  3. Place about a tablespoon of shredded mozzarella cheese in the center of the dough square, then layer on 1-2 slices of pepperoni, sprinkle with Parmesan, garlic powder, and oregano.
  4. Fold the corners of the dough square inward toward the center and pinch the seams tightly to seal.
  5. Roll the filled dough into smooth balls using your palms.
  6. Place the dough balls onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, ensuring space between them.
  7. Brush the tops of each dough ball with olive oil.
  8. Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown.
