Pizza Rolls

Pizza rolls or pizza bites are great homemade version of a popular frozen food. We love these at our house especially when you dip them in spaghetti sauce. You can add pepperoni or ham in your rolls, use shredded cheese or mozzarella cubes.

Making Pizza Bites

Pizza dough store bought or homemade
8 ounces mozzarella cheese, cut in cubes
Slices of pepperoni or pepperoni chunks
Ham chunks or ham cut up in small pieces
1/4 cup olive oil
1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
3 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
2 cups pasta sauce

Roll pizza dough onto a floured surface into a large rectangle. For easier handling cut in two batches. Cut into approximately 4 inch squares. On top of each square place a pepperoni and ham slice or chunk and a cheese cube.



Wrap dough around meat, fold sides in and roll up. Press together. Fork edges.



Place on cookie sheets. In small bowl, mix olive oil and seasoning together. With pastry brush brush oil over pizza bites.



Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Use all dough and bake at 400 degrees for 15-18 minutes. Use pasta sauce for dipping.
