Ingredients
Scale
Pizza Dough
- 1 package refrigerated pizza dough (or homemade if preferred)
Filling
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup cooked sausage, crumbled
- 1/2 cup pepperoni slices, chopped
- 1/4 cup diced green bell pepper
- 1/4 cup diced onion
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Other
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 cup marinara sauce (for dipping, optional)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat the 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 shape, about 1/4-inch thick, ensuring even thickness for uniform baking.
- Add Cheese: Evenly sprinkle mozzarella and cheddar cheeses over the dough, leaving approximately 1 inch of space free around the edges for sealing the roll.
- Spread Filling: Distribute the cooked sausage, chopped pepperoni, diced green bell pepper, and diced onion evenly over the cheese layer to create a balanced filling.
- Season: Sprinkle Italian seasoning evenly over the filling for added flavor depth.
- Roll Dough: Carefully roll the dough from one side into a tight log, pressing gently to avoid spilling the filling. Pinch the edges of the dough to seal the roll completely.
- Slice Rolls: Using a sharp knife, slice the rolled log into 1-inch thick pinwheels. Arrange these slices cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet, spaced slightly apart.
- Brush with Olive Oil: Lightly brush the tops of each pinwheel with olive oil to encourage browning and create a golden, crispy crust during baking.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes or until the rolls are golden brown and the cheese inside is melted and bubbly.
- Serve: Remove the pizza rolls from the oven and serve warm with marinara sauce on the side for dipping if desired.
Notes
- You can substitute the cooked sausage with cooked ground beef or Italian sausage for different flavors.
- For a vegetarian option, omit the sausage and pepperoni and add more vegetables like mushrooms, olives, or spinach.
- Use homemade pizza dough if preferred for fresher taste and texture.
- These pizza rolls can be prepared ahead of time and baked fresh when needed; refrigerate sliced rolls and bake within 24 hours for best quality.
- Leftovers can be reheated in the oven or microwave but are best enjoyed fresh.
