Ingredients
Scale
Pizza Rolls
- 2 tubes of refrigerated pizza crust
- Garlic salt, to taste
- Italian seasoning, to taste
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup sliced and chopped pepperoni
Dipping Sauce
- Marinara sauce (for dipping)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 425°F (218°C) to ensure it reaches the correct temperature for baking the pizza rolls perfectly crisp.
- Prepare the dough: Lightly dust a large clean surface with flour to prevent sticking, then roll out each tube of refrigerated pizza crust to an even thickness.
- Season the crust: Sprinkle garlic salt and Italian seasoning evenly over the surface of each rolled-out crust to infuse flavor.
- Add toppings: Distribute the shredded mozzarella, grated Parmesan, and chopped pepperoni evenly across the crust, keeping the fillings within ½ inch from the edges to allow for sealing.
- Roll the pizza: Starting at one of the shorter ends, carefully roll the crust into a tight log to encase the fillings securely.
- Slice into rolls: Using a serrated knife or pizza cutter, slice the log into 1-inch thick sections, creating individual pizza rolls.
- Prepare for baking: Place the pizza rolls on a lightly greased baking pan, ensuring they are spaced slightly apart to cook evenly.
- Bake the rolls: Put the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes until the rolls are golden brown and bubbly.
- Serve: Remove the pizza rolls from the oven and serve immediately with marinara sauce for dipping, enjoying them warm and fresh.
Notes
- Make sure the pizza crust is cold but pliable for easier rolling.
- You can substitute pepperoni with cooked sausage or vegetables for variety.
- Adjust the seasoning to your preference; add crushed red pepper flakes for a spicier kick.
- Use parchment paper on the baking pan for easier cleanup.
- Serve with extra marinara or your favorite dipping sauce for enhanced flavor.
