Pizza Rolls Recipe Questions Answered:

Are pizza rolls healthy?

There are about 220 calories and 9 grams of fat per serving. A serving size constitutes about 2 pizza rolls. While these are not the most healthy thing out there, throw in a salad and you’re good right?! If you are trying to eat a little healthier try substituting zucchini slices or whole-grain pita pockets for the dough.  

What are pizza rolls made of?

A pizza roll is exactly what it sounds like. It is made of pizza dough with sauce and toppings of your choice such as cheese and pepperoni on the inside. Once the toppings are spread over the dough you roll up the dough and cut the dough into slices, therefore, creating your very own pizza rolls.

How to Make Pizza Rolls Recipe:

1. First, make the dough as per recipe directions found here. Next, prepare 2 baking sheets with cooking spray and set aside. After the dough rises for 20 minutes punch it down and divide it into 2. 
2. Next, working with 1 piece of dough at a time, roll the dough into a 14×10-inch rectangle. Then spread ½ jar of sauce over the dough and sprinkle 2 cups of cheese evenly over dough. Follow it with half of the pepperoni. 
3. Then starting on one long side, roll up cinnamon-roll style, pinching the seam together to seal. Next, cut the dough into 12 equal pieces. Place each piece on the prepared baking sheet. 
4. Place a clean towel over the pizza rolls, and preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. 
5. Once the oven preheats, bake the pizza rolls for 15-20 minutes. While the pizza rolls bake, heat the remaining jar of pizza sauce over low heat to use for dipping sauce.
