1192 Views

Homestyle Pizza Rolls are a fun and delicious way to enjoy all the flavors of a classic pizza in a bite-sized form. These rolls are perfect for parties, game day, or even as an after-school snack. Made with simple ingredients, these pizza rolls are easy to whip up and customize with your favorite toppings. Let’s get started!

Table of Contents

Ingredients

  • 1 package (16 oz) refrigerated pizza dough
  • 1/2 cup pizza sauce
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup sliced pepperoni (or other toppings of choice)
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
  2. Prepare the Dough: Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface into a large rectangle, about 12×8 inches.
  3. Add Sauce and Toppings: Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the dough, leaving about a 1-inch border along the edges. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese on top, followed by the sliced pepperoni or other toppings of your choice.
  4. Roll the Dough: Starting from one of the long edges, tightly roll up the dough into a log shape. Pinch the seam to seal it.
  5. Cut into Rolls: Using a sharp knife, cut the rolled dough into 1-inch slices. You should have about 12 rolls. Place the rolls cut-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
  6. Season and Bake: In a small bowl, mix the melted butter with garlic powder and dried oregano. Brush the tops of the pizza rolls with the butter mixture, then sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese.
  7. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
  8. Serve: Allow the rolls to cool for a few minutes before serving. Serve warm with extra pizza sauce for dipping.

Cook’s Notes and Tips

  • Dough Rolling Tip: When rolling the dough, make sure it is even in thickness to ensure that all the rolls cook at the same rate.
  • Toppings: Feel free to get creative with the toppings—add cooked sausage, bell peppers, mushrooms, or olives for extra flavor.
  • Sealing the Dough: Pinching the seam well will help prevent the rolls from unraveling during baking.

Variations

  • Cheese-Stuffed Pizza Rolls: Add a cube of mozzarella cheese to the center of each roll before slicing for a gooey, cheesy surprise.
  • Vegetarian Pizza Rolls: Skip the pepperoni and add diced bell peppers, onions, and mushrooms for a veggie-friendly version.
  • Spicy Pizza Rolls: Sprinkle red pepper flakes over the sauce before rolling up the dough for a little heat.

Serving Suggestions

  • Dipping Sauces: Serve these pizza rolls with extra pizza sauce, marinara, or garlic butter for dipping. Ranch dressing is also a popular choice.
  • Side Salad: Pair these rolls with a simple green salad for a complete meal.
  • Game Day Platter: Add these rolls to a platter with other finger foods like mozzarella sticks, wings, and chips for the ultimate game day spread.

  2. Useful enough to recommend to several people I know who would appreciate it, and a stop at caspiboil added more material I will pass along too, the kind of writing that earns word of mouth is the kind that actually delivers on its promises which is what this site does without any drama or fanfare attached.

  4. Started smiling at one paragraph because the writing was just nice, and a look at goldencrestartisan produced a couple more such moments, prose that produces small spontaneous reactions in the reader is doing more than just transferring information and the writers here are clearly hitting that level fairly consistently throughout pieces.

  7. Just one of those reads that left me feeling slightly more capable rather than overwhelmed, and a look at elegantdailyessentials kept that empowering feel going, the difference between content that builds the reader up and content that intimidates them is huge and this site clearly knows which side of that line to stand.

  12. Thanks for the moderate length, neither so short it skips substance nor so long it bloats, and a stop at sernix hit the same balance, the right length is one of the hardest things to calibrate in blog writing and I appreciate when a team has clearly thought about it rather than defaulting.

  13. Started thinking about my own writing differently after reading, and a look at designfocusedclickping continued that reflective effect, content that influences how I work rather than just informing what I know is content with the highest kind of impact and this site has triggered some of that reflective influence today on me.

  14. Came in confused about the topic and left with a much firmer grasp on it, and after epicfife I felt I could explain this to someone else without hesitation, that is the gold standard for any educational content and most sites simply fail to reach it ever which is unfortunate but true.

  24. Speaking from the perspective of a fairly demanding reader the writing here clears the bar consistently, and a look at morningcrate continued clearing that bar, the calibration of demanding reader is something I apply to all sources and this site has been one of the few that handles the demanding reading well across pieces sampled.

  25. The tone stayed consistent across the whole post which is harder than it looks for longer pieces, and a look at opalwharf continued the same voice, this kind of editorial consistency is a sign of either a single careful writer or a tightly run team and either is impressive today across the broader media environment.

  35. Yesterday I was complaining about the state of online writing and today this site has temporarily fixed that complaint, and a look at elegantdailyessentials extended that mood reversal, the short term mood improvement that comes from finding good content is real and this site has produced that improvement for me at a useful moment.

  36. Solid endorsement from me, the writing earns it, and a look at designfocusedclickping continues to earn it across the broader site too, the kind of operation that maintains quality across many pages rather than just one viral post is a sign of serious commitment and that is what I see here clearly across what I read.

  37. Closed and reopened the tab three times before finally finishing, and a stop at finchfiber held my attention straight through, sometimes content fights for time against my own distraction and the times it wins say something positive about its quality and this post clearly won that fight today afternoon for me.

  44. Genuinely well crafted writing, the kind that makes the topic look easier than it actually is, and a look at artisandesigncollective added even more depth, you can feel the experience behind every line which is something only writers who have been at this for a while can pull off with this level of grace.

  46. Found something quietly useful here that I expect to return to, and a stop at ironskyessentials added more of the same, content with quiet utility ages well in a way that flashy hot takes do not and I have learned to weight quiet utility much higher when deciding what to bookmark for later use.
