Gooey melted cheese, tangy pizza sauce, and spices wrapped in a warm, flaky crust make these pizza roll-ups a kid-friendly favorite that’s quick and easy to prepare.

Ingredients

  • Pizza Dough (homemade or store-bought, refrigerated crescent roll dough recommended)
  • Pizza Sauce
  • Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
  • Pepperoni Slices
  • Grated Parmesan Cheese
  • Italian Seasoning
  • Olive Oil
  • Optional Toppings: Diced bell peppers, black olives, mushrooms, cooked sausage

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Roll out the pizza dough into a rectangular shape, about ¼-inch thick.
  3. Spread an even layer of pizza sauce over the dough, leaving about ½-inch border around the edges.
  4. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese generously over the sauce.
  5. Layer pepperoni slices evenly across the dough. Add any optional toppings like diced bell peppers or olives.
  6. Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese and a pinch of Italian seasoning over the fillings.
  7. Carefully roll the dough into a tight log, starting from one of the longer edges.
  8. Using a sharp knife, slice the log into 1-inch thick pieces and place them flat on the prepared baking sheet.
  9. Brush each roll-up with olive oil for a golden finish.
  10. Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the roll-ups are golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
  11. Let cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm!

Notes

[‘Use cold dough for easier rolling.’, ‘Don’t overfill to avoid soggy roll-ups.’, ‘Seal the edges to keep fillings inside.’, ‘Rotate the baking sheet midway for even cooking.’, ‘Brush olive oil and sprinkle Parmesan for a crispy finish.’]
