Kind of Homemade, Pizza Rolls | Foodie | Mom so Hard

A few weeks ago, I went on a mission looking for new lunches to make for Blakeleigh and Amila, they love peanut butter and jelly “sam-a-whiches”, but let’s face it, it was time to change it up some!

So, naturally, Pinterest was my go to search board.

Soooo many ideas came up. Some easy. Some had way too many steps, some had way to much stuff the girls wouldn’t eat.

I found these pizza roll ups on The KitchenCritic blog (click to see her full recipe), and definitely wrote it down to try.

My whole house loves these!

The Basic How-To

I said these were easy, and I wasn’t kidding. Literally, all you need is sticks of mozzarella cheese, pepperoni, and a refrigerated roll of crescent dough (you know the kind that you have to bang on the counter to break open!).

That’s it.

So, you pre-heat your oven to 350 degrees or whatever the directions on the dough calls for.

Pop them bad boy crescents open, and start assembling.

I started by taking three to four pepperonis and laying them down on the widest parts of the crescent dough triangle. Next, I cut off about an inch of the mozzarella stick, lay it on the pepperoni. Then I roll it up, like a crescent.

In the original recipe, from The Kitchen Critic, she uses a sauce, but my family enjoys them without.

Once you have assembled them all, pop them in the oven, let them cook till they are pretty and brown, around fourteen to seventeen minutes, and enjoy!

Have you tried these before?
