Forget those store-bought, freezer-aisle pizza bites (or at least forget them this once :D)–this homemade alternative is almost out of this world. I shared my first batch with a couple teenage girls and we gobbled them right up. We all decided they were amazing and should definitely served as an appetizer at any party. They are easy to eat–not at all messy–and customizable to your tastes.
Oh! and I forgot to mention–they’re just plain FUN!
Pepperoni Pizza Rolls Recipe
recipe adapted from Annie’s Eats
Makes 24 pizza rolls
Ingredients
1/2 batch pizza dough (this or this)
24 slices pepperoni
Approximately 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
for sprinkling– freshly grated Parmesan cheese, basil, and garlic powder
for dipping–1 cup marinara/pizza sauce, heated
Directions
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Using a large knife or a bench scraper/dough cutter, divide the dough into 24 equal portions. Working with your hands lightly floured, form each ball of dough into a thin round. Stop with pepper and a sprinkle of mozzarella. Carefully fold the edges up over the cheese and pinch to seal. Repeat until all rolls are finished.
Place seam-side down in a greased 2 quart baking dish or deep dish pie pan. Brush lightly with water and sprinkle with Parmesan, basil and garlic. Bake for 20 minutes, until golden.
Serve with a side of pizza sauce for dipping.
