Equipment

  • Large Baking Sheet
  • Non-stick Cooking Spray

Ingredients

  • 18 dinner rolls frozen dough
  • 1 cups pizza sauce
  • 3 cups shredded Mozzarella cheese
  • 54 pepperoni slices

Instructions

  • Thaw rolls according to directions on the package.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees
  • After the rolls are thawed (but not risen), stretch out each roll and lay it flat on a greased cookie sheet.
  • Spoon a small amount of pizza sauce onto each roll. Top with a small handful of shredded cheese, and three pepperoni slices.
  • Fold the dough over the toppings and pinch the edges together. Try to not have any holes in your dough, as your cheese will melt out of it.
  • Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown. Let cool a few minutes before serving.

Notes

We generally keep the toppings simple for the kids with pepperoni, but there are so many other ideas you can do!
Here are a few suggestions:
  • Green pepper
  • Olives
  • Ham (or Canadian bacon)
  • Pineapple
  • Bacon bits
  • Banana peppers
  • Barbecue instead of pizza sauce
  • Grilled chicken pieces
  • Red onion
