Let’s Make Some Pizza Rolls!
This is one of the best recipes for pizza rolls largely because they’re so easy to roll out, fill with toppings, and then bake. Ready in under 20 minutes! Here’s how to make your homemade pepperoni pizza rolls: Prep the Dough: Roll out the pizza crusts into even rectangles on a floured surface. Drizzle each crust with olive oil and give them a sprinkle of seasoning. Add the Fillings: Cover the dough with an even layer of mozzarella and parmesan, topped with a single layer of pepperoni. Roll & Cut: Roll the dough tightly into even-sized logs. Cut each log into 12 even slices (a serrated knife works best for this). Bake: Place the rolls cut-side-up on a lined baking sheet. Pop them in a preheated oven to bake until the dough is golden and the cheese is nice and melted. Once they’re cooked, give them a few minutes to cool on the baking sheet before serving them with pizza sauce for dipping!

Overloading the dough may cause it to tear when you go to roll it.If Your Dough Is Too Sticky: If you’re struggling with dough that is too sticky when handling and rolling, try wetting your fingers a little. If you’re worried that the dough logs will become sticky while you’re trying to cut them, pop them in the fridge to chill for 15 minutes first.Different Pan Options: These pinwheels can be baked in a muffin pan, or in a 9×13 baking pan as well, without changing the baking time.

How to Store and Reheat Extras
Leftover pizza rolls can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 3 days. I like to reheat mine in the preheated oven at 350°F, for a few minutes until they’re warmed through. However, these can be reheated quickly in the microwave as well! (I recommend the oven method for crisp pizza rolls.)
Can I Freeze These?
You can freeze baked pizza rolls for easy reheating! Leave the rolls on the baking tray to cool completely, and then place the whole tray into the freezer to pre-freeze. Once solid, transfer the pizza rolls to a freezer bag or freezer-friendly container. They’ll keep frozen for up to 2-3 months. Reheat your rolls from frozen for 20-30 minutes in a 350°F oven, or until they’re heated through, and serve! Want to freeze the unbaked rolls? Simply freeze them flat on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper, then transfer the frozen, unbaked rolls to an airtight, freezer-safe container. When you are ready to cook them proceed with the baking instructions below. You will need to add a couple minutes to the baking time to compensate for the rolls being frozen before baking.
