Let’s Make it together
Preheat Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). This ensures your pizza rolls get crispy and golden perfection.
Prepare Pizza Dough: Roll out your pizza dough on a floured surface until it’s about 1/4 inch thick. Use a rolling pin for even thickness—no one wants lumpy rolls!
Cut into Squares: Slice the dough into squares about 3 inches wide. This makes it easy to wrap around your filling and helps achieve that “pizza roll” look.
Fill with Toppings: Place a small amount of shredded cheese and pepperoni in the center of each square. Don’t overstuff; you want them to close without exploding like a confetti cannon!
Crush Doritos: In a plastic bag, crush Doritos into fine crumbs using your hands or a rolling pin. The crunchier, the better—think of them as tiny flavor bombs waiting to happen!
Coat & Bake: Dip each filled dough square into melted butter, then roll in crushed Doritos until fully coated. Place them on a lined baking sheet and bake for about 15-20 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
Serve & Enjoy: Let cool slightly before serving with warm pizza sauce on the side. Watch as your guests devour these flavorful bites like there’s no tomorrow!
With this delightful recipe under your belt, you’ll be ready to impress family and friends at any occasion!
