A Fun Spin on Classic Flavors

With each roll packed with flavors and customized with your favorite toppings, this recipe allows for creativity and personalization. Let’s roll up our sleeves and start the fun of crafting these portable pizza treats!
Ingredients:
- 1 (13.8 oz) can refrigerated pizza dough
- 1 cup pizza sauce
- 2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1/2 cup pepperoni slices, chopped
- 1/4 cup green bell peppers, diced (optional)
- 1/4 cup onions, diced (optional)
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Olive oil, for brushing
- Grated Parmesan cheese, for topping
Directions:
- Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). This temperature ensures that the rolls will bake evenly and turn golden brown.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a rectangle shape. This provides a good base for spreading your toppings.
- Spread the pizza sauce evenly across the rolled-out dough, leaving a small border around the edges to help seal the roll.
- Evenly distribute the shredded mozzarella cheese, followed by the chopped pepperoni, and if using, the diced green bell peppers and onions over the sauce. These fillings can be tailored to include any of your favorite pizza toppings.
- Carefully roll up the dough from the long side, pressing gently to keep it tight. The tighter the roll, the better the filling will stay contained.
- Slice the roll into 1-inch pieces and place them cut side down on a greased baking sheet. This will allow them to hold their shape while baking.
- Brush the tops of the rolls with olive oil and sprinkle with Italian seasoning and grated Parmesan cheese for added flavor and a lovely finished look.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and the cheese inside is bubbly.
- Serve the pizza rolls hot, accompanied by extra pizza sauce for dipping.
