Pizza Rolls Ingredients
- 1 package of pizza dough
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup pepperoni slices
- 1/4 cup pizza sauce
- 1 egg, beaten
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it reaches the right temperature for baking the pizza rolls evenly and achieving a crisp crust.
- Roll Out Dough: On a floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into an even thickness, making it easier to cut and fold the rolls.
- Cut Dough Squares: Cut the rolled dough into small squares, each large enough to hold the filling and be folded over.
- Add Filling: Place a spoonful of shredded mozzarella cheese, a few pepperoni slices, and a small amount of pizza sauce in the center of each dough square.
- Fold and Seal: Fold each square into a triangle shape, sealing the edges firmly to prevent the filling from leaking during baking.
- Brush with Egg Wash: Brush the tops of each sealed roll with the beaten egg to promote a golden, shiny finish once baked.
- Bake: Bake the pizza rolls in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until they turn golden brown and cooked through.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the pizza rolls to cool for a few minutes before serving to avoid burning and to let the cheese set slightly.
Notes
- Make sure to seal the edges tightly to prevent cheese and sauce leakage.
- You can customize the filling with other toppings like cooked sausage, mushrooms, or bell peppers.
- Serve with extra pizza sauce or marinara for dipping.
- Use refrigerated pizza dough for convenience, or prepare your own homemade dough for a fresher taste.
- The baking time may vary depending on your oven, so monitor closely towards the end.
