Cheesy Pizza Roll Recipe
There’s something irresistible about pulling apart a golden, cheesy pizza roll, its gooey center stretching with every bite.
With a prep time of 1 hour and 10 minutes and a quick 25-minute bake, this recipe is surprisingly simple yet delivers big on flavor.
Ingredients
- 1 loaf frozen bread dough (16 ounce) or one roll refrigerated pizza crust
- 1 jar pizza sauce (8 ounce) divided
- 2 cups shredded Mozzarella cheese or sliced
- 1 package pepperoni slices (6 ounce) optional topping
- 1 can sliced black olives (2.25 ounce) optional topping
- 1 egg beaten
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 Tablespoon Italian seasoning
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Let the dough thaw out for about an hour (if you're using refrigerated pizza crust, you can skip this step).
- Roll out the dough with a rolling pin so that it is about 1/4 inch thick. Spread about 1/2 cup sauce over the bread.
- Place Mozzarella cheese and pepperoni slices over the sauce. Then add any other toppings you like. We like black olives.
- Carefully roll up (you'll want to roll it so it's long and thin rather than short and thick) and place on a baking sheet. If you use a bread loaf, you may have to cut it in half to fit it on the baking sheet.
- Brush with beaten egg, then top with grated Parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning, we love the flavor it gives the crust.
- Bake for 20 – 25 minutes. Keep an eye on it so it doesn't burn.
- Let cool for 5 minutes then cut into slices.
- Dip in remaining pizza sauce (or preferred dipping sauce).
