How to Make Homemade Pizza Rolls

Preparation:

1. Preheat oven to 400°F.
2. Roll out the pizza dough onto a sheet of parchment paper. This prevents sticking and makes handling easier.
3. Place mozzarella cheese sticks evenly across the dough, leaving about 1/2 inch between each one.
4. Sprinkle pepperonis (or your choice of additional toppings) evenly over the dough and cheese.

Cooking:

5. Carefully fold the pizza crust over the cheese sticks. Press down along the edges and between the cheese to create sealed pockets.
6. Use a fork to crimp the edges, ensuring everything stays sealed.
7. Brush the top of the dough with egg wash. This gives it that golden color in the preheated oven.
8. Transfer to a baking dish or cookie sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, until golden brown.
9. Right after baking, brush with melted butter for extra flavor.

Recipe Notes & Pro Tips

• Make sure to use parchment paper underneath from the start. It keeps the pizza rolls from sticking.
• Let the pizza dough come to room temperature before rolling it out. This makes it easier to handle.
• If you love extra cheesiness, try adding Monterey Jack along with the mozzarella cheese.
• Store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat in the oven for a crispy bite.
• Feel free to customize with your favorite savory toppings to match your taste buds.
