Homemade Pizza Rolls
Looking for a easy dinner that is a great snack? Check out these simple and delicious homemade pizza rolls. Perfect for after school.
Equipment
- Non-stick spray
Ingredients
- 1 pizza crust we recommend using the kind from the tube
- 3 -4 tablespoons of pizza sauce and the rest of the jar/can for dipping
- pepperoni
- mozzarella slices
- 1 cup cornmeal
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400F.
- Spray your parchment paper with non-stick spray.
- Roll out your pizza dough and stretch it out to fit in the pan (we did this, but not so it was thin).
- Add 3-4 tablespoons of pizza sauce over the pizza dough and spread it out with the back of the spoon.
- Put down a layer of the mozzarella sliced cheese side by side and then add pepperoni on top.
- Slowly roll one of the long ends of the pizza dough (like you do for cinnamon rolls). We want lots of rolls, not small fat ones. :)
- Take your pizza cutter or a sharp knife and cut it in the middle. Half each side and half again.
- Cut the remaining pieces into small 1 1/2 inch pieces.
- Place the bottom into the cornmeal and then place onto the parchment paper. Repeat until they are all cut up.
- Bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes, until evenly brown.

Notes
- You can use shredded mozzarella if you wanted, but it may be harder to roll.
- You only need a thin coat of pizza sauce on the dough, not like you would make pizza. Otherwise, it will spill out of your rolls. A little goes a long way here.
- Experiment with other toppings, but be careful they stay put while rolling the log up.
- We used the baking area as our prep area, but if you like to do dishes, use another surface to make the pizza rolls.
- Cornmeal is optional, but adds a great crunch!
