Homemade Pizza Rolls

Satisfy your cravings with these bite-sized homemade pizza rolls, perfect for a fun snack or appetizer. Filled with gooey cheese, savory pepperoni, and classic pizza flavors, they're sure to be a hit with everyone.

Ingredients (serves 4):

For the Dough:

• 2 1/4 tsp (1 packet) active dry yeast
• 1 cup warm water (110°F)
• 1 tbsp granulated sugar
• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp salt
• 2 tbsp olive oil

For the Filling: 

• 1 cup pizza sauce
• 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1 cup mini pepperoni slices or diced pepperoni
• 1 tsp dried Italian seasoning
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder

Instructions:

1. In a large bowl, dissolve the sugar in warm water, then sprinkle the yeast on top. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes foamy.
2. Add flour, salt, and olive oil to the yeast mixture. Mix until a dough forms.
3. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
4. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a clean towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
5. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
6. Punch down the dough and roll it out on a floured surface into a large rectangle, approximately 12x16 inches.
7. Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
8. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese and pepperoni evenly over the sauce.
9. Sprinkle dried Italian seasoning and garlic powder over the toppings.
10. Starting from the long side, tightly roll up the dough into a log shape.
11. Using a sharp knife, cut the log into 1-inch pieces to create the pizza rolls.
12. Place the pizza rolls on the prepared baking sheet, cut side up.
    
13. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
14. Remove from the oven and let the pizza rolls cool for a few minutes.
15. Sprinkle with dried parsley, if desired.
16. Serve warm with extra pizza sauce for dipping.
