Pizza Rolls

I found this recipe on Pinterest and knew right away I wanted to try it. I have to admit it's now one of my new favorite game day foods! I made it the other day for us to snack on while we were watching the Steelers.

The recipe calls for two tubes of refrigerated pizza crust. I halved the recipe and only used one. Well, we ate one with no problems so I'm thinking next time I'll make both cans! I'm also thinking I'm going to try to make these with frozen bread dough.

This recipe originates from Tidy Mom. In reading the comments, I found one that gave a great piece of advice for making these. Several people were saying that the bottoms were getting very dark, almost burned. One reviewer said she places an empty cookie sheet on the rack  below the rack the food is on. I tried this just to be sure I didn't burn them and it worked perfect!!


Pizza Rolls

2 cans refrigerated pizza crust
garlic salt or garlic powder
Italian Seasoning
 1 C sliced, chopped pepperoni- divided
2 C shredded cheese, Pizza Blend-divided
1 C Parmesan cheese-divided

Preheat oven to 425 degrees; lightly grease cookie sheet. Dust large cutting board or wax paper with flour. Unroll one pizza crust; sprinkle with garlic salt and Italian seasoning. Top with 1 C shredded cheese, 1/2 C Parmesan cheese and 1/2 C pepperoni.

Starting with short end, roll crust into a tight log. Slice into 1 inch sections and place on baking sheet. Repeat with second can of pizza crust. Bake for 10-12 minutes.

**TIP** To keep bottoms from burning, place an empty cookie sheet below the rack the food is on.
