PIZZA ROLLS RECIPE
Sometimes I fix elaborate meals and then we sit down to dinner and I’m reminded of the wise knowledge of “know your audience”. Five children are not impressed with anything fancy.
I could put hot dogs in front of them and I would be mom of the year to them. Chicken Marsala? How about chicken nuggets…that would really win their favor.
But yet I try over and over. I want them to have a refined and adventurous palate. Compared to most kids they definitely do. All I know is when I put these pepperoni Pizza Rolls on the table, no one is whining. Add a green salad and you’ve got a meal.
These pizza rolls fit the bill perfectly. Remember those stuffed pizza rolls I made…while those are still good…these take even less work. Score for me.
You can use whatever your favorite pizza toppings are. I’ve tried Pepper Jack cheese instead of mozzarella which is a nice kick. Add some sausage, bell peppers, mushrooms, olives…you name it.
CAN I USE STORE BOUGHT DOUGH?
You can make homemade dough or use store bought for this recipe. The pizza crust is filled with tons of cheese and toppings.
CAN I ADD OTHER TOPPINGS?
You can add any toppings you want and make them yours. Peppers, browned sausage, olives, or onions.
