I recently made this Pepperoni Pizza Rolls recipe for a girl’s night and man were they yummy! They really do taste like little bites of pizza, and I love how you can control the amount of sauce you get with each bite by dipping them.
Cook’s Note – Pizza Rolls Recipe:
- These Pizza Rolls are great with my Copycat Pizzeria Pizza Sauce recipe!
- You can easily double this Pizza Rolls recipe if you’re expecting a crowd. Just make sure you use a second pie plate and rotate both pie plates halfway through baking.
- Pesto Sauce is also a fabulous sauce to use for dipping these Pizza Rolls into.
- You can make these up to 2 days ahead of time by preparing them thru step 2 below. Just cover them with plastic wrap and place them in the refrigerator until baking. You may need to add 2-3 minutes to the baking time since they are going into the oven chilled.
