Ingredients
Scale
Pizza Rolls
- 1 package (8 oz) crescent roll dough
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 20 slices pepperoni
- 1/4 cup pizza sauce (for filling)
For Serving
- Additional pizza sauce (for dipping)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ease cleanup.
- Prepare Dough: Unroll the crescent roll dough on a clean, flat surface, arranging the triangles so that they all point in the same direction to make rolling easier.
- Add Filling: Spoon about 1 tablespoon of shredded mozzarella cheese onto the center of each triangle. Place 2 slices of pepperoni on top of the cheese, then add a small dollop of pizza sauce over the pepperoni for a flavorful burst.
- Roll Up: Starting at the wide end of each triangle, carefully roll the dough tightly toward the pointed end, enclosing the filling. Place each roll seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet to keep them sealed while baking.
- Bake: Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until they are golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and melted inside.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the pizza rolls to cool slightly on the baking sheet to avoid burns, then serve warm with additional pizza sauce on the side for dipping.
Notes
- For a vegetarian version, omit the pepperoni or substitute with vegetables such as sliced mushrooms or bell peppers.
- You can add Italian seasoning or garlic powder to the dough before rolling for extra flavor.
- Ensure rolls are sealed well to prevent filling from leaking out during baking.
- Leftover pizza rolls can be reheated in the oven for a few minutes to keep them crispy.
- Feel free to substitute mozzarella with other cheeses like provolone or cheddar for a different taste profile.
