Start by rolling your pizza dough into a rectangular shape, aiming for about ¼ inch in thickness.
Prepared pizza dough
Lay half of the mozzarella cheese across the dough, leaving a small border around the edges without cheese.
1 cup mozzarella cheese
Place your favorite toppings evenly over the cheese layer.
½ - 1 cup pizza sauce, Any desired pizza toppings - pepperoni
Drizzle or spread your selected sauce over the toppings according to your personal preference. Then, cover this layer with the remaining cheese.
Carefully roll the dough towards yourself, slightly pinching the edges as you roll to seal in the ingredients.
Slice the rolled dough into individual pieces and arrange them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. (
Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 12-15 minutes or until the rolls are golden brown.

Even Distribution: Aim for an even distribution to ensure each roll has a balanced mix of flavors when adding your toppings and cheese.
Prevent Leakage: To prevent any filling from leaking out during baking, make sure to pinch the seams and ends of the dough firmly after rolling.
Uniform Size Cuts: To promote even baking, try to cut your rolled dough into the same size pieces.
Don’t Overfill: While it might be tempting to pack in as many toppings as possible, overfilling can make the rolls difficult to seal and may cause them to burst open during baking.
Use a Sharp Knife: A sharp knife or a piece of dental floss can be used to slice the rolls cleanly without squishing the dough.
Allow to Cool: Let the pizza rolls cool for a few minutes after baking before serving; this will help the cheese set and make them less likely to fall apart when picked up.
Pre-baking Toppings: If raw meat or vegetables that release water (like mushrooms) are used, consider pre-cooking them slightly to prevent the rolls from becoming soggy.
