FAQ: Questions about pizza rolls

Make a batch of our delicious pizza rolls to satisfy your comfort food cravings. Here, we answer a few questions about this popular snack and offer advice on preparing, storing, and serving them for ultimate enjoyment.

Can I use ready-made pizza dough for these rolls?
Yes, you can. Choosing ready-made pizza dough is a great time-saver for making pizza rolls. It offers convenience for those who are short on time. But, if you prepare your own dough, you might find that your pizza rolls taste more authentic and have a better texture, but both methods are more than fine.
Can I prepare pizza rolls ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare pizza rolls in advance. Store uncooked rolls in the fridge for up to a day before baking. For already baked pizza rolls, freeze them to enjoy later. You can make the dough and sauce up to three to four days early. Keep the dough in an airtight container and allow it to come to room temperature before you begin. Once you have assembled the rolls, you have two options: let them rise and freeze them or chill the prepared rolls in the fridge for a day. When it is time to bake, just follow the rest of the instructions in the recipe.
How should I store and reheat leftover pizza rolls?
For the best flavour, store your pizza rolls the right way after they cool down. Put them in an airtight container to keep them fresh. They can stay at room temperature briefly or in the fridge for up to five days. For freezing, wrap each roll in cling film or aluminium foil. This stops freezer burn and keeps other food flavours away. Then, put the wrapped rolls in a bag or container that is safe for the freezer. Try to remove extra air before sealing it. To reheat frozen pizza rolls, preheat your oven to the same temperature you first baked them at. Put the frozen rolls on a baking sheet and heat until the cheese is bubbly and the rolls are hot all the way through.

Tips: Make the best pizza rolls

With these helpful tips, you can learn how to make these delicious pizza rolls.

Master the dough technique

When rolling out your dough, aim for a consistent thickness to ensure it cooks evenly and has the same texture throughout. A rolling pin helps achieve an even base so your rolls cook perfectly. Avoid overworking the dough. That way, you keep your pizza rolls tender. Once you reach the right thickness, let the dough sit briefly before adding toppings. This helps the dough stay in the right shape.

Optimal baking strategy

If you are after a deeper flavour, consider using a pizza stone or baking steel. These tools replicate the effect of a professional pizza oven and make the crust even better. First, preheat the stone or steel in the oven before baking your pizza rolls. If you prefer a softer crust, reduce the baking time slightly. For a crunchier texture, leave them in the oven a bit longer, but be vigilant to prevent them from burning.

Try these delicious pizza rolls

A large batch of pizza rolls is a fantastic choice for a party snack or comfort food at home. They capture the essence of pizza, transforming it into a delightful handheld treat. The tasty filling, full of cheese, ham, and herby oregano, complements the slightly crispy crust wonderfully. These rolls are the perfect, easy-to-make snack for entertaining large groups of friends and family.

Tasty filling with cheddar cheese and smoked ham

Try a classic pizza filling with cheddar cheese and smoked ham. This pairing tastes wonderful, as the bold, tangy cheddar cheese melds with the smoky, savoury notes of ham. Each bite is filled with rich, satisfying flavours. The tasty filling is popular among kids and adults alike, making these rolls perfect for large gatherings and children’s birthday parties.

Herbal notes from chopped oregano

Oregano has long been a staple on Italian pizzas, and its use reflects a deep understanding of the perfect flavour balance. Sprinkling fresh oregano on top not only adds a beautiful decorative touch but also offers bold herb notes that pair wonderfully with the cheese and ham.

What is the best way to serve pizza rolls?

Pizza rolls are incredibly versatile and can be served on virtually any occasion. Serve a large batch as a crowd-pleasing appetiser at parties; they are perfect as handheld snacks. For a more formal setting, present them hot from the oven on a platter or a wooden board.

While pizza rolls are delicious on their own, pairing them with various dipping sauces can enhance the flavours. Classic marinara is a popular choice, offering a traditional pizza taste. A creamy garlic sauce offers a smooth contrast, and a spicy arrabbiata sauce brings excitement with each bite.

To complement your meal, consider adding a crisp salad for a fresh touch, or a platter of antipasti that includes pickled vegetables, cured meats, and olives, which contribute variety and richness to the dining experience.

Customise your pizza roll filling

Experiment with various fillings for your pizza rolls, ensuring they are not overly stuffed to allow for easy rolling. For a classic pizza flavour, consider substituting ham with pepperoni, which offers a slightly smoky and spicy profile. If you are looking for a savoury boost, adding pepperoni is an excellent choice.

Include vegetables like sweet peppers or mushrooms for extra flavour. Peppers will add freshness and colour, while mushrooms contribute an earthy richness. Be sure to pat dry any excess moisture from the vegetables before cooking.

Explore different cheese options. Mix in mozzarella for its stretchiness, provolone for a sharper taste, or a softer cheddar for a smoother texture.
