Delicious homemade pizza rolls that are warm, cheesy, and easy to make, perfect for snacks, game night, or an easy meal.
Ingredients
Dough and Filling Ingredients
- 1 package Pizza dough (store-bought, crescent, or homemade)
- 1 cup Pizza sauce (jarred or homemade) (Use sparingly to prevent sogginess.)
- 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese (Low moisture preferred.)
- 1/2 cup Chopped pepperoni (Or use mini slices.)
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning or oregano
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder (Optional.)
- 1 large Egg (For egg wash, plus a splash of water.)
- Cooking spray or oil (For greasing the baking pan.)
- Parmesan cheese (Optional for topping.)
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly oil it.
- Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface and cut it into small squares, about 2.5 to 3 inches.
Assembly
- In the center of each square, add a small spoonful of pizza sauce, a pinch of shredded mozzarella cheese, and a few pieces of pepperoni. Sprinkle lightly with Italian seasoning.
- Bring the corners together and pinch to seal. Roll gently in your hands to make a pocket, and place seam-side down on the baking sheet.
- Brush the tops with the egg wash and sprinkle with parmesan and garlic powder if desired.
Baking
- Bake the pizza rolls for about 12 to 15 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
- Let them cool for a few minutes before enjoying, as the filling will be hot.
Notes
Ensure not to overfill the rolls to avoid leaking. Use a hot oven for optimal crispiness, and let them sit for a few minutes after baking to set the filling.
