Are these Pizza Rolls or Pepperoni Rolls?
I think they’re both since we are serving them with some pizza sauce for dipping. Technically they are more like pepperoni rolls since the sauce is not going into the rolls like the store bought pizza rolls would have.
So you can call them whatever you want. Pizza rolls, or pepperoni rolls. They’re just as good either way!
Pepperoni Pizza Roll Ingredients:
Crescent Roll Dough – It’s quick and easy! One package of crescent roll dough should be enough to make 8 homemade pizza rolls.
Pepperoni – You can use packaged slices of pepperoni, like you’d use on pizza, or you can use deli sliced pepperoni, like you’d use on a sandwich. Both work great!
Mozzarella – You’ll use some mozzarella string cheese to load the pizza rolls up with all that melty cheesy goodness.
Garlic Butter Sauce – You’ll prepare a simple sauce for adding flavor to the homemade pizza rolls prepared from melted butter, minced garlic, dried parsley, and onion powder.
Pizza Sauce – Warm this up and serve it on the side for dipping!
What We Love About PEPPERONI PIZZA ROLLS:
Easy: This pizza roll recipe is so simple! Crescent roll dough, pepperoni, mozzarella cheese sticks. What could be simpler than that? The garlic butter sauce is quick and easy to prepare too.
Dipping: These pizza rolls are perfect for dipping!
Melty & Gooey: We’re obsessed with fried mozzarella sticks and this has that same vibe with the most glorious cheese pulls!
Kid-Friendly: Whether you’re serving these to kids or letting the kids help in the kitchen, these are a great option.
Assemble: Unroll the crescent dough and separate it along the perforations to make 8 triangles. Place 4 pieces of pepperoni along the wider end of the dough and top that with half of a stick of string cheese.
Roll: Once you’ve piled on the pepperoni and cheese roll them up and ogle them. They look irresistible already.
Garlic Butter Sauce: Top ’em with a simple garlic butter. It’s the right thing to do. Melt some butter and stir in minced garlic, onion powder, and parsley and drizzle over the pizza rolls.
Bake: After rolling and topping with garlic butter place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 8 to 10 minutes or until the pizza rolls are golden brown and melty!
Serve: You’re definitely going to want to serve these homemade pizza rolls while they’re still good and hot from the oven! And don’t forget to dip ’em in some pizza sauce!
