Doritos-Crusted Pizza Rolls
These bite-sized delights combine the nostalgic crunch of Doritos with gooey melted cheese and savory pepperoni, perfect for movie nights or family gatherings.
Ingredients
For the dough and filling
- 1 cup mini pizza dough (store-bought) Fluffy, tender, and handy for our delightful pockets of flavor.
- 1 cup crushed Doritos (Nacho Cheese or Cool Ranch) Adds a burst of crunch and an explosion of flavor.
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese Rich and creamy, melts beautifully.
- 10 slices pepperoni (or your choice of filling) Savory and spicy.
- 1 egg for egg wash Gives rolls a beautiful golden finish.
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning (optional) Enhances overall flavor profile.
For dipping
- 1 jar Marinara sauce Optional, serves as a deliciously tangy contrast.
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Crush the Doritos in a ziplock bag until they resemble coarse crumbs.
- Roll out mini portions of the pizza dough into circles about 3 inches in diameter.
- Place mozzarella cheese and pepperoni in the center of each circle; add Italian seasoning if desired.
- Fold the dough over to form half-moons and seal tightly.
- Dip each roll in beaten egg, then coat with crushed Doritos.
- Place on a greased baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.
Serving
- Serve hot with marinara sauce for dipping.
Notes
Tip: Don't overstuff the dough; too much filling can cause the rolls to burst. Use a sharp knife to seal the edges well.
