Pizza Rolls

These are a fun variation for pizza night! :) You just pull these apart and dip in marinara sauce. Inside each roll, there is a center that is warm and oozing with pizza toppings. They are delicious and the kids have fun dipping them. There is no pizza sauce in each roll which is nice. Unlike your traditional pizza rolls, the sauce wont scald the inside of your mouth. Plus, we have some "anti-pizza sauce" people at our house, so this was perfect! We did the pepperoni, green pepper version. I will definitely be making these again and trying a variety of fillings. Enjoy!

Ingredients:
frozen rolls or homemade pizza dough

Pizza sauce
Shredded cheese of choice

Any meat/veggie pizza toppings of choice, diced small
(We mainly do pepperoni (cut into 1/4ths) &cheese and plain cheese)

Defrost frozen roll dough for about an hour. It should be cold but soft. Flatten each roll. First put a light smear of pizza sauce in the center of the roll. (Don't get the sauce on the edges or it wont want to seal) Next, layer the shredded cheese or any diced small topping that will have a tendency to fallout. Finally, press a few quarters of pepperoni to hold cheese in place and wrap the rest of the roll around the toppings. Pinch to seal edges. The more toppings you use, the harder it gets to tuck them all within the dough. Now place seam side down in a lightly greased casserole dish or glass baking dish. Brush with olive oil and sprinkle generously with garlic salt and Italian seasoning. (oregano, basil and thyme, etc) Bake in a 400 degree oven until rolls are light brown (12-15min). Watch carefully. Serve with your favorite marinara sauce for dipping.
