Stuffed Pepperoni Pizza Rolls
Delightful stuffed pepperoni pizza rolls, perfect for family nights and gatherings, filled with gooey cheese and savory pepperoni.
Ingredients
Dough and Filling
- 1 can pizza dough Pre-made for convenience; homemade dough can work too!
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese For that stretch factor—use whole milk for creaminess.
- ½ cup sliced pepperoni Classic choice! Turkey or veggie pepperoni are great alternatives.
- ½ cup marinara sauce For dipping; use your favorite jarred or homemade sauce.
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning Adds depth—fresh herbs can elevate this even more.
For Topping
- 1 tablespoon olive oil For brushing on top before baking.
- cooking spray Helps prevent sticking to the baking sheet.
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Prepare your baking sheet by greasing it gently with cooking spray.
- Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface to about ¼ inch thick.
- Cut the dough into squares, aiming for about 3x3 inches.
- On each square, place a small handful of shredded mozzarella followed by a few slices of pepperoni.
- Sprinkle a pinch of Italian seasoning over the cheese and pepperoni.
- Fold the dough over to form a pocket, pinching the edges to seal.
- Place the stuffed rolls on the baking sheet, giving them a little space.
- Brush the tops lightly with olive oil and sprinkle with Italian seasoning.
Baking
- Bake for 15 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Serve warm with marinara sauce on the side for dipping.
Notes
For healthier options, swap out pepperoni for veggies. Experiment with dipping sauces like ranch or spicy marinara.
