Description
Flaky Pepperoni Pizza Rolls are the ultimate party-pleasing snack that combine the irresistible flavors of pizza and the convenience of a portable bite. These savory rolls are made with fluffy puff pastry, melty mozzarella cheese, zesty pepperoni, and a tangy pizza sauce – all wrapped up in a golden, crispy package.
Ingredients
- 1 package puff pastry
- 1/2 pound pepperoni
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup pizza sauce
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 egg (for egg wash)
- 1 tablespoon milk (for egg wash)
- Optional toppings: grated Parmesan cheese, extra Italian herbs, red pepper flakes, or everything bagel seasoning
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Gently unroll the thawed puff pastry sheets and use a rolling pin to smooth them out slightly.
3. Evenly distribute the pizza sauce over the surface of each puff pastry sheet.
4. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese, pepperoni slices, Italian herbs, and garlic powder over the pizza sauce.
5. Tightly roll each puff pastry sheet into a log, then slice the logs into 1-inch pieces. Place the sliced rolls cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet.
6. In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and milk. Gently brush the egg wash over the tops of the pizza rolls.
7. Bake the Flaky Pepperoni Pizza Rolls for 18-22 minutes, or until they are golden brown, puffed, and flaky.
8. Remove the rolls from the oven and serve them warm, with extra pizza sauce for dipping if desired.
Notes
To ensure your Flaky Pepperoni Pizza Rolls turn out perfectly every time, be gentle when unrolling and rolling the puff pastry to maintain its delicate, flaky texture. Allowing the pastry to thaw completely before working with it will make it easier to handle.
