Description
Homemade Pizza Rolls are a delicious and customizable snack, combining gooey cheese, savory meats, and your favorite pizza toppings all wrapped in a crispy, golden crust. Perfect for game nights, parties, or a satisfying snack any time.
Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon active dry yeast
3/4 cup warm water (110°F)
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup sliced pepperoni
1/2 cup marinara sauce (for dipping)
Italian seasoning and salt to taste
Instructions
- Activate the Yeast: In a bowl, combine warm water and active dry yeast. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
- Make the Dough: In another bowl, mix the flour and salt. Create a well in the center and add the yeast mixture. Stir until combined, then knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth.
- Let the Dough Rise: Allow the dough to rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
- Shape the Pizza Rolls: Once the dough has risen, roll it out on a floured surface into a rectangle. Cut the dough into squares, and add a spoonful of cheese and pepperoni to the center of each square.
- Form the Rolls: Fold the corners of each square over the filling to form triangles, then seal the edges tightly to secure the filling inside.
- Bake: Place the rolls on a baking sheet and bake at 375°F for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Serve: Allow the pizza rolls to cool slightly before serving with marinara sauce or your favorite dipping sauce.
Notes
Vegetarian Option: Swap out pepperoni for sautéed spinach, mushrooms, or bell peppers to make vegetarian-friendly pizza rolls.
BBQ Chicken Rolls: Use shredded cooked chicken mixed with BBQ sauce instead of pepperoni for a smoky, sweet flavor.
Cheese Lovers: Add extra cheese, such as cheddar, provolone, or ricotta, to the filling for a richer, cheesier experience.
