Golden-brown, bite-sized pizza bites on a stainless steel tray, each with melted mozzarella, red pepper flakes, and a glossy tomato sauce drizzle, steam gently rising, placed on a rustic wooden board beside a vintage 1980s Brownie camera and a retro flux capacitor model, soft daylight casting warm highlights, shallow depth of field blur background.

These dehydrated pizza bites pay homage to Marty McFly’s 1955 lunchbox treat — reimagined with modern flavor and shelf-stable appeal. Crisp, flavorful, and convenient, they capture the spirit of *Back to the Future* while delivering satisfying crunch and rich pizza flavor.

  • Total Time: 27 minutes
  • Yield: 12 bites

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup dehydrated pizza crust pieces (pre-dried, ~1/2-inch squares)
  • 1/2 cup rehydrated pizza sauce (blended tomato paste, garlic, oregano, salt)
  • 3/4 cup shredded low-moisture mozzarella
  • 2 tbsp grated Parmesan
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
  • 1 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment.
  2. In a bowl, toss dehydrated crust pieces with Italian seasoning and olive oil; spread evenly.
  3. Spoon small dollops of rehydrated pizza sauce over crust pieces — about 1/2 tsp each.
  4. Pat dry any excess moisture from sauce with paper towel to prevent sogginess.
  5. Sprinkle mozzarella and Parmesan over each bite.
  6. Bake 8–10 minutes until cheese is bubbly and golden.
  7. Broil 1 minute for extra crispness (watch closely).
  8. Cool 2 minutes before serving — optionally garnish with red pepper flakes.

Notes

  • For true dehydrator method: After baking, cool completely and dehydrate at 135°F for 4–6 hours until crisp.
  • Use vacuum-sealed storage for longer shelf life — up to 2 weeks.
  • Optional: Add mini pepperoni slices or sausage crumbs before cheese for protein boost.
