Ingredients
Scale
Pizza Dough and Sauce
- 1 can refrigerated pizza dough
- ½ cup pizza sauce
Cheeses
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
- Grated Parmesan cheese for topping (optional)
Toppings
- ¼ cup mini pepperoni slices
- ¼ cup cooked and crumbled Italian sausage
- 2 tablespoons diced green bell pepper
- 2 tablespoons diced red onion
- 1 tablespoon sliced black olives
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Other
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
- Roll Out Dough: On a floured surface, roll the refrigerated pizza dough into a large rectangle, ensuring an even thickness for uniform cooking.
- Spread Sauce: Evenly spread ½ cup of pizza sauce over the dough, leaving a ½-inch border around the edges to seal the roll properly.
- Add Toppings: Sprinkle the mozzarella and cheddar cheeses evenly over the sauce, then distribute the pepperoni, Italian sausage, diced green bell pepper, red onion, and sliced black olives. Finally, sprinkle 1 teaspoon of Italian seasoning over all the toppings for added flavor.
- Roll and Seal: Starting from one of the long edges, tightly roll the dough into a log shape. Pinch the seam to seal the roll, preventing the filling from spilling out during baking.
- Slice Rolls: Using a sharp knife, slice the roll into 12 equal pieces and arrange them cut-side up in the prepared baking dish.
- Brush and Top: Brush the tops of the rolls with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese if desired for an extra cheesy crust.
- Bake: Bake the pizza rolls for 20 to 25 minutes or until they are golden brown and the cheese is bubbling.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the rolls to cool slightly in the pan before serving, making them easier to handle and enhancing the flavor.
