Ahhh pizza rolls—crispy, cheesy, dunkable little happiness bombs 😄
Whether you mean homemade or the nostalgic frozen kind, here’s the good stuff.
🍕 Homemade Pizza Rolls (way better than frozen)
Ingredients (makes ~24)
- 1 can pizza dough or crescent dough
- ¾–1 cup shredded mozzarella
- ½ cup pepperoni (or sausage, mushrooms, etc.)
- ¼ cup pizza sauce
- 1 tbsp olive oil or melted butter
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp Italian seasoning
- Optional: parmesan, chili flakes
How to make them
- Preheat oven to 400°F / 205°C.
- Roll dough out and cut into 2-inch squares.
- Add a small spoon of sauce, cheese, and toppings to each square.
- Fold corners together and pinch tightly to seal.
- Place seam-side down on a lined baking sheet.
- Brush with oil or butter; sprinkle garlic powder & seasoning.
- Bake 12–15 minutes until golden.
- Cool slightly (cheese lava is real).
Serve with warm marinara for dipping.
Air fryer method
- 375°F for 6–8 minutes, shaking halfway.
Pro tips
- Less filling = better sealing.
- Pinch edges well or use a fork to crimp.
- Let them rest 3–5 minutes before biting.
- Freeze before baking for make-ahead snacks.
Fun variations
- Breakfast rolls: scrambled eggs, sausage, cheese
- Buffalo chicken: chicken + buffalo sauce + mozzarella
- Pepperoni pizza bombs: extra cheese, extra crisp
- Dessert rolls: Nutella + sugar (no sauce)
If you want, I can give you:
- a copycat Totino’s version
- a cheesy garlic pizza roll
- a keto/low-carb version
- or a party-sized sheet-pan hack
Just say the word 🍕🔥
