Easy Pizza Roll Poppers (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
→ Base Dough
01 -
Pre-made pizza dough (1 can, 280-320 grams or 10-11 oz)
02 -
Brush of olive oil, just a little
→ Cheesy Sauce Combo
03 -
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, freshly grated works best
04 -
1/4 cup Parmesan, grated fresh
05 -
1/2 cup of store-bought or homemade pizza sauce
→ Extras & Toppings
06 -
Any pizza toppings you like, such as 1/4 cup pepperoni (diced)
07 -
1/2 tsp garlic powder
08 -
A teaspoon of dried oregano
# Instructions:
01 -
Turn on your oven and set it to the temperature mentioned on your pizza dough package. It's the key to baking these perfectly.
02 -
Roll out your dough on a floured counter or table into a 1/4-inch-thick rectangle. This will be the base for everything yummy.
03 -
Smear the pizza sauce over the dough. Leave the edges bare, so the roll sticks together later.
04 -
Scatter mozzarella, Parmesan, oregano, garlic powder, and chopped pepperoni on top of the sauce. Add more of your favorite toppings if you're feeling adventurous!
05 -
Starting with a long side, carefully roll the dough into a tight log. Make sure the filling stays tucked in!
06 -
Grab your sharp knife and cut the log into 1-inch sections for perfectly round poppers.
07 -
Lay your cut slices on a baking tray lined with parchment or greased lightly. Leave enough room so they won’t stick together as they bake.
08 -
Take a pastry brush and lightly coat the tops with olive oil for that golden, crispy finish.
09 -
Pop them into your oven for about 12-15 minutes. You’ll know they’re done when they’re golden and the cheese is melty.
10 -
Let them rest for a couple of minutes, then serve. Bonus points if you pair them with a side of hot pizza sauce for dipping.
# Notes:
01 -
These bite-sized treats are great for game nights, parties, or simple midday snacks.
02 -
Mix up the toppings with options like olives, sausage, or even veggies like bell peppers.
