Ingredients:
- 1 can refrigerated pizza dough
- 1/2 cup pizza sauce
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup mini pepperoni slices
- 1/2 cup cooked sausage (crumbled or sliced, pre-cooked and seasoned)
- 1 cup crushed Nacho Cheese Doritos
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Directions:
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to ensure the pizza rolls bake evenly and don’t stick.
Step 2: Prepare the Pizza Dough
- Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface.
- Cut it into small rectangles, making sure each piece is large enough to hold your fillings but not too bulky.
Step 3: Fill and Roll the Dough
- Spread a small amount of pizza sauce on each rectangle.
- Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce.
- Add a few mini pepperoni slices and a small amount of cooked sausage to each rectangle.
- Carefully roll up each rectangle, pinching the edges together to seal in the fillings.
Step 4: Coat with Doritos Mixture
- In a bowl, combine crushed Nacho Cheese Doritos, melted butter, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning.
- Roll each filled pizza roll in the Doritos mixture until fully coated, adding a crunchy texture and extra flavor.
Step 5: Bake the Pizza Rolls
- Place the coated pizza rolls on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
Step 6: Serve
- Serve the Doritos Pizza Rolls warm, ideally fresh out of the oven.
- Pair them with extra pizza sauce or marinara for dipping if desired.
Tips for the Best Doritos Pizza Rolls:
- Make the Dough Crispy: For an extra crisp crust, bake for an additional 2-3 minutes if necessary.
- Mix It Up: Feel free to add other toppings like mushrooms, olives, or onions inside the rolls for a personalized twist.
- Crush Doritos Well: To ensure even coating, crush the Doritos into small, fine pieces so they stick to the dough easily.
