Ingredients

Scale

Pizza Rolls:

  • 1 tube (13.8 oz) refrigerated pizza dough
  • ½ cup pizza sauce
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2025 slices pepperoni (or toppings of choice)
  • ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning

Garlic Parmesan Butter:

  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional)

Instructions

  • Preheat Oven: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Prepare Dough: Roll out the pizza dough into a rectangle (about 12×14 inches).
  • Add Toppings: Spread pizza sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges. Sprinkle with mozzarella cheese, Parmesan, and Italian seasoning. Add pepperoni slices evenly across the surface.
  • Roll & Slice: Starting from the long side, roll the dough into a tight log. Use a sharp knife to slice into 12 even rolls.
  • Arrange & Bake: Place rolls cut-side down on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
  • Make Garlic Parmesan Butter: While rolls bake, stir melted butter, garlic powder, and Parmesan cheese together.
  • Brush & Serve: Immediately after baking, brush rolls with garlic Parmesan butter and sprinkle with fresh parsley if desired. Serve warm with extra pizza sauce for dipping.

Notes

  • Customize with your favorite fillings like cooked sausage, mushrooms, olives, or veggies.
  • Use homemade pizza dough if you prefer.
  • For a spicy twist, sprinkle red pepper flakes inside the rolls or into the garlic butter.
  • These are perfect for freezing! Freeze unbaked rolls, then bake directly from frozen (adding 3-5 minutes to baking time).
