Cheesy Pepperoni Pizza Rolls are the easy-to-make, no fuss recipe that kids (and parents) will love! Pomi Chopped Tomatoes are the secret key to making these pizza rolls shine–baked simply into a rolled pizza dough with mozzarella, pepperoni, onion, and a sprinkle of seasoning for utter delicacy!
Method
-
Preheat the oven to 410 degrees F and line a half sheet pan with parchment paper.
-
In a large saucepan, add the olive oil and onion over medium heat. Saute until onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add garlic and saute an additional minute. Season with salt and pepper.
-
Add the Pomi Chopped Tomatoes, and all of the additional seasonings (minus the fresh basil) and bring to a boil, then simmer for 20 minutes.
-
Use a food processor or immersion blender to blend the pizza sauce into a smoother consistency, then remove from heat and stir in the fresh basil.
-
Roll out the pizza dough.
-
Spread ½ C - ¾ C of the pizza sauce onto the dough. It shouldn’t be too thick or it will spill out the edges as you roll.
-
Layer on the pepperoni, mozzarella, and parmesan.
-
Roll into a tight log and freeze for 10 minutes to make slicing easier.
-
Slice each log into 12 rolls, about 1 inch thick. Place onto the prepared pan and bake at 410 for 15-17 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and cheese starts oozing out. Let cool enough to handle, then serve with remaining warmed sauce.
