Ingredients/Variations
DOUGH For this recipe, I use pizza dough but any kind of dough will work. If you have a can of crescent rolls, use those!
SAUCE Top your dough with pizza sauce, tomato sauce, marinara sauce or try making a homemade pizza sauce!
TOPPINGS Anything that goes on a regular pizza can go into a pizza roll! If using veggies that contain a lot of water (like mushrooms) be sure to cook them first and drain well.
Meat: I love pepperoni as a topping, but bacon, Italian sausage or shredded chicken will taste great too.
Veggies: While I didn’t add any veggies, fresh peppers, mushrooms or jalapenos would taste delicious!
Cheese: Mozza and Parmesan are my favorites, but try cheddar, Monterey jack or pepper jack for a fun twist.
How to Roll Out Pizza Dough
- For pizza dough: gently remove from the container and roll it out flat. Use a little flour to keep the dough from sticking to the work surface or hands.
- For crescent rolls: squeeze together the perforated edges to make one large square, and roll out to about a 16” by 14” inch square.
How to Make Pizza Rolls
For delicious, homemade pizza roll perfection:
- Roll out dough, spread with sauce, and add toppings.
- Roll up from one end to the other, then slice into 12 rolls.
- Place in greased muffin tins and sprinkle with cheese then bake per recipe below.
Serve with remaining pizza sauce for dipping!
How to Store Pizza Rolls
Keep cooled pizza rolls in a zippered bag in the refrigerator until they are ready to be reheated again. Reheat in the microwave with a fresh sprinkle of cheese. Don’t forget to heat up the pizza sauce!
Or freeze (like pizza pockets) in an airtight container, and take for lunches or a quick snack!
