Ingredients
Scale
Pizza Dough
- 1 package refrigerated pizza dough (or homemade if preferred)
Cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Meats
- 1/2 cup cooked sausage, crumbled
- 1/2 cup pepperoni slices, chopped
Vegetables & Seasoning
- 1/4 cup diced green bell pepper
- 1/4 cup diced onion
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Finishing & Serving
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 cup marinara sauce (for dipping, optional)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or lightly greasing it to prevent sticking.
- Roll Out Dough: On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a rectangle about 1/4-inch thick, ensuring an even surface for spreading the fillings.
- Add Cheese: Evenly sprinkle shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheeses over the dough, leaving about an inch border on all sides to help seal the roll later.
- Add Meat and Vegetables: Distribute the cooked sausage, chopped pepperoni, diced green bell pepper, and diced onion evenly over the cheese layer for a balanced flavor in every bite.
- Season: Sprinkle the Italian seasoning evenly over the filling to enhance the overall taste with aromatic herbs.
- Roll Dough: Carefully roll the dough from one long side to form a tight log, then pinch the edges to seal and keep the filling inside during baking.
- Slice into Pinwheels: Using a sharp knife, cut the rolled dough into 1-inch thick pinwheels and place them spaced out on the prepared baking sheet.
- Brush with Olive Oil: Brush the tops of each pizza roll with olive oil to achieve a beautiful golden and glossy finish as they bake.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the pizza rolls are golden brown and the cheese inside is fully melted.
- Serve: Serve the rolls warm with marinara sauce on the side for dipping, adding a tangy, savory complement to the cheesy rolls.
Notes
- Use homemade pizza dough for a fresher flavor or to control ingredients.
- Feel free to substitute or add different vegetables like mushrooms or olives based on preference.
- Make sure to seal the edges well to prevent filling from leaking out during baking.
- These pizza rolls are best served fresh but can be reheated in the oven to retain crispiness.
- Marinara sauce is optional but recommended for an authentic pizza taste experience.
