Pepperoni Pizza Rolls Recipe

Our mom used to have a snack ready and waiting for us everyday when we got home from school. It was always the best part of the day. These pizza rolls always take me back to those days, but now we’ve even served them for dinner!

These would make a great game day treat, too. Fill them with your favorite pizza toppings to please even your pickiest eaters (but who doesn’t love pepperoni pizza?!)

Homemade Pizza Dough vs Store bought

We’re all about easy at our house! We love using Pillsbury Pizza Dough for this recipe, but a homemade pizza dough works too!

If you’re looking for a good homemade pizza crust, this recipe from All Recipes for Homemade Pizza Dough is delicious and simple!

How to make Pepperoni Pizza Rolls

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.

On a lightly floured surface, roll out each pizza crust. It should come with two in each roll.

Season each crust with garlic salt and Italian seasoning. We like to sprinkle ours with a little bit of parmesan cheese too!

Sprinkle one cup of shredded Mozzarella onto each crust.

Top each crust with 1/2 cup chopped pepperoni or mini pepperonis.

Roll up each crust into a tight log, don’t worry about getting the perfect roll, you really can’t mess these up!

Slice into 1 inch sections with a knife or pizza cutter. We’ve also used plain (not the minty flavored!) floss to cut these, again it’s pretty hard to mess up. If the knife smashes them a little just reform them into circles.

Place on a lightly greased baking sheet. For easiest clean up, we line our pan in foil and grease the foil.

Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the crust begins to golden.

Serve with marinara sauce for dipping, or ranch!

      Hi!

      I think it would work fine with biscuits, but might be a little hard to roll out. I found the pizza crust in the same section as the biscuits. Hope you like it!

    How much garlic salt and Italian seasoning did everyone else use? "To taste" seems too broad for me, I don't want to over season.

      We added about 1/4 teaspoon. If you like those ingredients, add a little more. Hope this helps.

      You could freeze these after baking in a freezer bag. They should be fine for to 4-6 weeks. That's as long as they have lasted at our house.
