Put one cheddar cube and a little crumbled bacon into the center of each dough round. Wrap the dough around the filling, pinching to close it up into a ball shape.

Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the tops are golden and the cheese is just starting to ooze out.

Best served warm as a snack, side, or appetizer.
