Pepperoni and Cheese Rolls (Made With Pizza Dough)

Submitted by Kittencalrecipezazz

"Adjust all ingredients to taste to taste. The amount of pepperoni and mozzeralla cheese you use will depend on how large your slices are, so the amounts listed are only estimated. Salami may be used in place of pepperoni or use both, prep time does not include making the pizza dough, I use recipe#119387 or recipe#164371 will work fine, or use your own favorite pizza dough recipe. Feel free to add sliced onions if desired."

A must have!! Very simple to make but make sure and not over fill. My first "roll" I made had to hit the trash (I overfilled and it never made it to the "oven stage", but the others were delish!!! I added oregano and garlic powder, as well as some sauted purple onions. (Hint: if you are having trouble keeping the dough (I used pillsbury) closed, use toothpicks)

Wonderful recipe and super easy! i used Great Value pizza dough and rolled it out a bit on a floured surface first and then rolled up it as a whole and baked it for 30 minutes. I cut it after it came out of the oven. The beauty of this recipe, like others mentioned, is that you can add whatever ingredients you like. I added an Italian Seasoning blend.

Cassie and I decided to have some pizza rolls for lunch. She omitted the peppers, and added in some pizza sauce and they were awesome! We really liked these a lot. Thanks for sharing! Mike

I made this for the boys tonight for supper and they loved it! I used Pilsbury canned pizza dough. The only thing I changed, to make it "kid friendly" at our house, was to omit the roasted red peppers and add 1-2 T. of spaghetti sauce to each individual pizza roll. I also used turkey pepperoni. What a hit! Thanks, Kitten.
