Table of Contents
Ingredients
  • 1 pound of pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1/2 cup of pizza sauce
  • 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup of grated parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup of chopped pepperoni
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 1 tablespoon of Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon of salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper
Making the Dough

The first step in making homemade pizza rolls is to make the dough. If you’re using a store-bought dough, skip to the next section. If you’re making your own dough, here’s what you’ll need to do:

  1. In a large bowl, combine 3 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon of sugar, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1 package of instant yeast.
  2. Add 1 cup of warm water and 2 tablespoons of olive oil to the bowl and mix until a dough forms.
  3. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for 5-10 minutes, until the dough is smooth and elastic.
  4. Place the dough in a greased bowl and cover with a towel. Let it rise in a warm place for about 30 minutes, or until it has doubled in size.
  5. Punch down the dough and roll it out into a large rectangle.
Preparing the Filling

Now that you have your dough, it’s time to prepare the filling. Here’s what you’ll need to do:

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (218°C).
  2. Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the dough.
  3. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese, grated parmesan cheese, and chopped pepperoni over the sauce.
  4. In a small bowl, mix together the beaten egg, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
  5. Brush the egg mixture over the top of the filling.
Assembly and Baking

Now it’s time to assemble the pizza rolls and bake them to perfection. Here’s what you’ll need to do:

  1. Starting at one end of the rectangle, tightly roll the dough into a log.
  2. Cut the log into 1-inch pieces and place them on a greased baking sheet.
  3. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  4. Let the pizza rolls cool for a few minutes before serving.
Variations

One of the best things about homemade pizza rolls is that they’re so versatile. Here are a few variations you can try:

  • Vegetarian: Skip the pepperoni and add your favorite veggies, such as mushrooms, bell peppers, and onions.
  • Meat lovers: Use a combination of pepperoni, sausage, and bacon for a meaty twist.
  • Hawaiian: Use diced ham and pineapple for a tropical flavor.
  • BBQ chicken: Use shredded chicken and BBQ sauce for a tangy and sweet twist.

There you have it, folks! Homemade pizza rolls that are easy to make and delicious to eat. Serve them as a snack, appetizer, or even a quick meal on the go. And if you’re looking for more pizza inspiration, check out these links:
