How to Make Pizza Rolls

Now I don't cook very often, and won't be posting about cooking often. But I thought I would share with you how to make Pepperoni (or other toppings) Pizza Rolls. Since a lot of people don't seem to know about them and they are one of my favorite snacks.

A Pizza Roll is basically like a pizza, but wrapped up inside of a roll of dough.  If you like Pizza, you will like these. Here is the stuff you will need.

1. Trader Joe's Pizza Dough (or you need to make your own)
2. Cheese (Standard pizza cheese will do)
3. Flour or Olive Oil
4. Pepperoni (And any other toppings you want inside your roll)
5. Butter and Garlic
6. Pizza sauce (for dipping)


All right, so first thing you do is roll out your dough. You can use Flour or Olive Oil to prevent it from sticking to your hands. I have used both methods and they both work well. It depends if you want your hands to be oily or dry.

Roll your dough into a big rectangle, and try to make it as thin, but not to thin. Once you have your rectangle, layer the pepperoni on the dough, follow by any other toppings you want. Then put on the cheese.

Once you are pleased with the amount of stuff, your going to take one edge of the pizza and fold it over, so it should be like a giant roll. Close up the edges by pinching the dough together.

Now, you take a knife, and cut the big giant roll into smaller sections. Then put the smaller sections onto your cookie sheet. Now is the time to take some butter and garlic, and melt it in a bowl. Use a spoon to put it on the top of the rolls. You can also sprinkle some cheese or other spices on. Now bake at 450 degrees (temp may vary by oven) for about 15 minutes.

And that is how you make pizza rolls. You can also use your pizza sauce to dip them into after cooking for that true pizza experience. 

Sounds good but to lazy to cook, well pizza hut has your back. Check out the Stuffed Pizza Rollers at Pizza Hut, cause they are quite tasty. You may be able to find this rare pizza roll at other pizza houses, but in CA I have found it almost imposable to find them. In CO, my old hometown, there where everywhere. 

So I either have to go to Pizza Hut, or make these suckers at home. But if you want to give your normal pizza life a twist, try cooking some Pizza Rolls.
