To assemble the skewers, take one strip of pizza dough. Thread one end of the dough onto a wooden skewer. Then, thread a cheese-stuffed meatball onto the skewer. Wrap the dough around the meatball in a spiral or 'S' shape, then thread another meatball. Repeat this process until you have 3 meatballs and the dough wrapped around them on each skewer, using the entire dough strip. Place the assembled skewers onto the prepared baking sheet.
