Description

These cheesy, golden pizza rolls are the ultimate crowd-pleaser! Each bite offers a delightful crunch on the outside, giving way to a gooey, cheesy interior filled with savory pepperoni. The aroma of garlic and Italian herbs wafts through the air, making them irresistible for any gathering.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tube refrigerated pizza dough (or crescent roll dough)
  • 1 cup pizza sauce
  • 1½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ½ cup sliced pepperoni
  • 2 tbsp melted butter
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • Optional: grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking dish.
  2. Roll out the dough into a rectangle on a floured surface, ensuring it is about ¼ inch thick.
  3. Spread pizza sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
  4. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese and layer pepperoni on top of the sauce.
  5. Roll the dough tightly into a log, starting from one long side.
  6. Slice the log into 1–2 inch rolls and place them in the greased baking dish, cut side up.
  7. Mix melted butter with garlic powder and Italian seasoning, then brush generously over the rolls.
  8. Bake for 20–25 minutes until golden brown and bubbly, and the cheese is melted.

Notes

  • Make-ahead: You can prepare the rolls up to the baking step, cover them, and refrigerate for up to 24 hours before baking.
  • Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Substitutions: Use turkey pepperoni for a lighter option or swap mozzarella for cheddar cheese for a different flavor.
