Pizza Rolls
Ingredients
- 1 pound pizza dough , split into 2 balls
- ¾ cup pizza sauce
- 1 ½ cups mozzarella cheese , shredded
- 1 cup pepperoni , cut into quarters
- 3 Tablespoons salted butter , melted
- 2 Tablespoons Parmesan cheese , grated
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
For serving: Pizza sauce or ranch dressing
Instructions
- Prep. Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Roll out dough. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the first dough ball into a large rectangle, about 10 x 12 inches.
- Add toppings. Spread half of the pizza sauce over the dough and cover with half of the mozzarella and pepperoni (leave about ½ inch from the edges).
- Roll up dough. Tightly roll up the dough and press the seams together, making a log. Place seam side down on the prepared baking sheet.
- Make into rolls. Use a serrated knife or dental floss to cut the log in half. Then cut each half into five rolls.
- Bake. Repeat with the second dough ball. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until golden.
- Make topping: During the last 5 minutes of baking time, combine the 3 Tablespoons melted butter, 2 Tablespoons Parmesan, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning in a small bowl.
- Brush topping over rolls. Remove the baking sheet and brush the Parmesan topping over the top of each roll. Bake for 1 more minute. Allow the rolls to cool on the pan for a few minutes, then serve while hot with pizza sauce or ranch for dipping.
Notes
Tip: Use Trader Joe’s pizza dough for a quick dinner, use one can of refrigerated crescent roll sheets, or make my homemade pizza dough ahead of time and place it in the fridge.
Freezer Friendly: The baked pizza rolls freeze well for up to 3 months. Heat the frozen rolls at 350°F for 25 to 30 minutes, or until warmed through.
