Why You'll Love This Recipe

- Homemade dough makes these better than frozen pizza rolls!
Ingredient Notes
- Pizza Sauce - Pick up a jar of your favorite pizza sauce. If you don't want store bought sauce here is a homemade Pizza Sauce recipe. OR an 8 oz can of tomato sauce with 2 teaspoon of Italian Seasoning whisked in works in a pinch too!
- Toppings - you can use any toppings you want. Pepperoni, canadian bacon, italian sausage or even chicken. Any kind of vegies or even pineapple work too! If using pepperoni might I suggest the mini pepperonis. The smaller pieces are just so handy for this easy recipe!
- Flour - All Purpose flour
- Cheese -You can use any cheese or cheese blend you prefer. I usually use either freshly grated mozzarella or a bag of an italian blend from the store.
- Yeast - Instant yeast, dry active yeast and rapid rise yeast are all the same thing so you can use them interchangeably.
Couple Things You'll Need
Step by Step Instructions

- Allow it to stand and get foamy (about 5 minutes).

- Knead into a sticky dough.
- Cover and let rise until doubled.
- Dump dough out onto a lightly floured surface and divide in half.
- Roll out each half and sprinkle with your favorite toppings.
- Don't go super thick with the toppings because it will make it harder to roll up.

- Cover and let rise for 20 minutes while your oven preheats to 350 degrees
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes. The tops will just barely be turning golden brown.

Recipe FAQs
Yes, after placing the sliced pizza rolls on a baking sheet place the baking sheet in the fridge instead on letting rise. They will finish rising in the fridge. Then bake at 350 degrees for 30-35 minutes.
Alfredo sauce is a great alternative to pizza sauce to dip these in.
