Whether it\u2019s dinner at home, a game-day party or a group celebration, pizza is a sure-fire way to satisfy kid and adult appetites. When I&#8217;m looking for an easy <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/appetizer-pizza-recipes\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/appetizer-pizza-recipes\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">pizza appetizer<\/a>, I look to my trusty pizza rolls recipe. It&#8217;s easy to make for a crowd, and the cheesy, pepperoni-filled rolls taste just as good as takeout. As a bonus, the dish looks gorgeous, like a bunch of vibrant little pizza roses!<\/p>\n<p>Our recipe bakes the rolls in a cast-iron skillet, so you don\u2019t even have to transfer them to a serving platter. Once the skillet is cool enough to handle, simply bring it to the table and let everyone grab their pizza rolls.<\/p>\n<h2>Pizza Rolls Ingredients<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Pizza dough:<\/strong> Thaw a 1-pound loaf of frozen pizza dough, or use your favorite homemade or store-bought fresh dough.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Pasta sauce:<\/strong> You can use any <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/how-to-use-every-type-of-pasta-sauce\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/how-to-use-every-type-of-pasta-sauce\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">type of pasta sauce<\/a>. Grab a jar of store-bought marinara, or make your own from scratch.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Mozzarella and Parmesan cheese:<\/strong> These cheeses create an ideal combination of melty texture and nutty flavor.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Pepperoni:<\/strong> Chopping the pepperoni ensures that you&#8217;ll end up with little bits in every bite. Whole slices work, too, if you don&#8217;t feel like dirtying a cutting board.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Italian sausage:<\/strong> Sausage is optional here. Leave it out for pepperoni pizza rolls, or add it to give the rolls a &#8220;pizza supreme&#8221; feel.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Directions<\/h2>\n<h3>Step 1: Prepare the pizza dough<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-1988974\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Pizza-Rolls-FRBZ24_198384_P2_MD_04_16_6b.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough into a rectangle\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Preheat the oven to 400\u00b0F.

You can reheat them in the microwave, but the pizza dough can become a little soggy. Instead, use a 400\u00b0 oven to restore the fresh-from-the-oven texture. Bake until warmed through, three to five minutes.<\/p>\n<h2>Can you freeze pizza rolls?<\/h2>\n<p>You can freeze cooked pizza rolls for up to six months. Wrap the cooled rolls individually, and place them in a freezer-safe container. To use frozen pizza rolls, thaw the rolls in the refrigerator overnight, then reheat as directed.<\/p>\n<h2>Pizza Rolls Tips<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-1988973\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Pizza-Rolls-FRBZ24_198384_P2_MD_04_16_5bv2.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Holding a Delicious piece of Cheesy Pizza Roll with Spatula\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Can you use store-bought dough to make homemade pizza rolls?<\/h3>\n<p>Store-bought dough works just fine for our pizza rolls recipe, so don&#8217;t let homemade dough stop you from making this tasty appetizer! Use any refrigerated or frozen pizza dough to make this recipe. Of course, you\u2019re always welcome to make <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/the-best-pizza-dough\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/the-best-pizza-dough\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">homemade pizza dough<\/a>.

Just be careful not to overload the dough with too many ingredients, or the inside can turn doughy.<\/p>\n<h3>How do you serve pizza rolls?<\/h3>\n<p>The traditional way to serve pizza rolls is with a warm marinara dipping sauce. You can dip pizza rolls in several different types of sauce, like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/easy-alfredo-sauce\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/easy-alfredo-sauce\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">Alfredo sauce<\/a>, ranch or even pesto.
