Homemade Pizza Rolls
Description
The recipe begins by blending chopped pepperoni, cooked Italian sausage, scallions, Parmesan, and pizza seasoning in a food processor to create a ground meat and flavor mixture. This meat sauce is mixed further with marinara sauce to yield a saucy, seasoned filling. Pizza dough is portioned and rolled out into rectangles, then half the filling is spread over each dough rectangle, sprinkled with shredded mozzarella.
The dough is rolled jelly-roll style into logs and sliced into 1-inch pieces, which are arranged into prepared muffin tins. The rolls are brushed with olive oil and topped with additional pizza seasoning before baking at 350°F to create a golden crust. The structured rolls hold the filling inside for a moist, flavorful bite balanced with the cheese and meats.
These pizza rolls serve well as appetizers, snacks, or casual meals, easy to handle and share. The blend of meats with aromatics and cheese creates a rich, savory profile in mini form. The recipe yields multiple rolls, perfect for gatherings or making ahead.
Ingredients
- 6 ounces pepperoni chopped
- 1/2 cup Italian sausage cooked, drained, and crumbled
- 1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese divided use, shredded
- 1/2 cup scallions chopped
- 2 tablespoons pizza seasoning divided use
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese shredded
- 1 1/4 cups marinara sauce
- 2 pound packages pizza dough
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F, and grease two 12-cup muffin tins.
- Place the pepperoni in the bowl of a food processor.
- Add the sausage, 1/4 cup Parmesan, scallions, and 1 1/2 tablespoons pizza seasoning. Pulse until mixed.
- Transfer the meat mixture to a large bowl and mix in the marinara sauce.
- Lightly flour a work surface.
- Remove each pound of dough from its packaging and roll each one into a ball.
- Roll out 1 ball of dough into a 10x12-inch rectangle.
- Spread half of the meat sauce across the dough, leaving ½ to 1 inch of crust around the edges.
- Sprinkle half of the mozzarella cheese on top.
- Roll it up jelly-roll style to produce a 12-inch log.
- Slice the log into 12 1-inch pieces. The easiest way is to slice the log in half to yield 2 6-inch pieces, and then slice in half again until you have 12 pieces.
- Place the pieces in the muffin tin cups.
- Repeat with the second ball of dough.
- Brush the tops of the pizza rolls with olive oil and sprinkle with the remaining Parmesan cheese and seasoning.
- Bake for 20 to 24 minutes or until golden brown.
- Remove from oven and place the pizza rolls on a platter or in a basket.
