Pizza Rolls
Description
This recipe uses a flattened square of pizza dough spread with a mixture of pizza sauce combined with garlic powder and fresh parsley to add flavor. Shredded mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses with mini pepperoni slices are layered over the sauce. The dough is rolled tightly like a cinnamon roll, cut into individual slices, and placed in greased muffin tins.
Baking at 400°F for about 12 to 14 minutes melts the cheeses and crisps the dough edges while keeping a soft interior. The final rolls offer a harmonious combination of savory pepperoni, melted cheeses, and aromatic garlic and parsley embedded in tender baked dough.
They are served slightly cooled and accompanied by the remaining pizza sauce for dipping, making them suitable for appetizers, snacks, or casual meals. The recipe allows flexibility with dough type and toppings, such as bacon or vegetables. Precooking moist toppings like mushrooms before assembly is advised to avoid sogginess.

- 1 pound pizza dough or 1 can refrigerated pizza dough
- 1 cup pizza sauce divided

Instructions

Notes
- Premade pizza dough, crescent rolls, or homemade pizza dough can be used as the base.

- Feel free to vary toppings; bacon, fresh peppers, or pineapple can be added.
- If using toppings with high moisture like mushrooms, pre-cook them to prevent soggy rolls.
