Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Prepare the Pizza Dough: Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface. Cut into small rectangles, about 3×5 inches each.
Add the Fillings: Spread pizza sauce on each rectangle, leaving a border. Add mozzarella, pepperoni, and sausage.
Roll the Pizza Rolls: Starting from one short end, roll up each rectangle tightly. Pinch edges to seal the rolls.
Prepare the Doritos Coating: Mix crushed Doritos, melted butter, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning in a shallow bowl.
Coat the Rolls: Roll each pizza roll in the Doritos mixture, pressing gently to coat. Place on the prepared baking sheet, seam-side down.
Bake the Rolls: Bake for 12–15 minutes, until golden brown and crispy, with melted cheese inside.
Serve: Cool for a minute, then serve with extra pizza sauce for dipping, if desired.

Notes

For a spicy version, use Flamin’ Hot Doritos instead of Nacho Cheese Doritos.

For a vegetarian option, omit the meat and use extra cheese or vegetables.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.

Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5–7 minutes to restore crispiness.
