**I used fresh pineapple in mine, that's what you see poking through, I think the big rolls is how it is suppose to look, I had some small pieces of dough that I used and it didn't quite fold over the inside ingredients :) **

Stuffed Pizza Rolls
I found this recipe from OurBestBites

1 roll refrigerated pizza dough or your own dough (I'll post a recipe below)
marinara/pizza sauce
2T grated Parmesan cheese
1 T olive oil or melted butter
1/2 t garlic powder
1 t dried Italian seasoning
mozzerella cheese, diced or grated
Pizza toppings of your choice: ie, ham and pineapple, pepperoni slices, sausage, etc.


Preheat oven to heat specified on pizza dough package. Usually it's 400 degrees. If you make your own dough, 400 is usually a good heat as well.

Unroll your pizza dough onto a lightly floured surface. Pat or roll the dough so it's about 12" by 8". Cut it into 24 squares. Use a pizza cutter to slice the dough into 24 squares.

Place cheese and desired toppings on each square. (Note that you're not putting the marinara sauce on the dough- it's for dipping after) You just need to be able to enclose the toppings in the dough so keep that in mind.

When all of your dough squares have cheese and toppings on them, carefully lift up each square and wrap the dough around the toppings. Pinch to make sure each ball is sealed shut and then place them seam side down in a lightly sprayed pie pan (or similar sized dish).

Brush the tops of the dough balls with olive oil or melted butter and then sprinkle with the garlic and Italian seasoning and top with Parmesan cheese.

Cook them in the oven for about 15-20 minutes or until golden brown on top. Keep an eye on them! Doughs vary, so I'd check them after even 10 minutes.

Serve warm with warmed marinara sauce on the side for dipping.


Pizza Dough

My mom gave me this recipe and I love it cause it's easy and yummy

1 Package active dry yeast
1 C warm water (105-115)
2 1/2 C flour
2 T olive or vegetable oil
1 t sugar
1 t salt

Dissolve yeast in warm water in medium bowl. Stir in remaining ingredients. Beat vigorously 20 strokes. Let rest 5 minutes. ( I usually end up dumping it out on the counter and kneading it a few times to make sure it's mixed) The either roll it out and cut for pizza rolls or put on pizza pan and top it with your favorite toppings. Bake at 425 for 15 to 20 minutes for pizza, for rolls anywhere from 12 to 20 minutes just check on it until they are golden brown on the outside and the middle pieces aren't doughy.
