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)
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it is ready to bake the pizza rolls to a perfect golden brown.
- Prepare Dough: Unroll the crescent roll dough onto a clean surface and separate it into individual triangles along the perforations.
- Add Fillings: On the wider end of each triangle, place about 1 slice of pepperoni, a spoonful of pizza sauce, and a sprinkle of shredded mozzarella cheese.
- Roll the Dough: Starting from the wide end, carefully roll each triangle up towards the point, making sure the fillings stay inside and the dough is sealed to prevent leaking during baking.
- Bake the Rolls: Place the rolled dough pieces seam side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown and the cheese inside is melted.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and let the pizza rolls cool for a few minutes. Serve warm with additional pizza sauce for dipping.
Notes
- You can customize the filling by adding vegetables like sliced bell peppers or olives for extra flavor.
- For a crispier crust, brush the tops with melted butter before baking.
- If you prefer a spicier roll, substitute regular pepperoni with spicy pepperoni or add a pinch of red pepper flakes.
- These pizza rolls are best eaten fresh but can be reheated in the oven for a few minutes to regain crispiness.
