Why You'll Love This Recipe

Easy recipe for a pizza night!
You can make them ahead and bake them later.
Perfect addition to your dinner recipes or as a great snack for game day!
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 veggies 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.

Recipe FAQs

Can these be made ahead of time?

Yes, after placing the sliced pizza rolls on a baking sheet, place the baking sheet in the fridge instead of letting rise. They will finish rising in the fridge. Then bake at 350 degrees for 30-35 minutes.

What other sauce is good to dip these in?

Alfredo sauce is a great alternative to pizza sauce to dip these in.

What can I serve with these?

We like a good House Salad and Italian Cheese Bread!
