Pizza Rolls
Cheesy pizza rolls are the best easy appetizer, made from soft, flaky dough rolled up with tangy tomato sauce, melty mozzarella, and juicy pepperoni.
Servings: 12 pizza bites
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 pound store-bought (or homemade) pizza dough
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- ½ cup tomato sauce
- ¾ cup chopped pepperoni
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup shredded parmesan cheese
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- Marinara sauce for dipping
Instructions
- Prep. Preheat the oven to 410°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Roll out the pizza dough. On a lightly floured surface, roll the pizza dough out to ~9X13”.
- Assemble. Brush the pizza dough with olive oil and then spread the sauce over it in an even layer, leaving ~ ¼” border. Evenly distribute the pepperoni over the dough followed by the mozzarella and parmesan.
- Roll. Roll the dough tightly around the filling lengthwise.
- Slice. Slice the roll into ~1 ½“ pinwheels and lay them flat on the prepared baking sheet with ~2 inches between them.
- Make the butter sauce. Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the garlic and saute for 30 seconds. Stir in the parsley and turn off the heat. Brush the sauce over the pizza rolls.
- Bake. Bake for 10-15 minutes or until the dough is fully cooked and golden brown.
- Serve. Serve warm, dipped in your favorite marinara sauce.
