- 1/4 cup melted butter
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it’s ready for the delicious baking ahead.
- Roll out your thawed pizza dough into a rectangle approximately 1/4 inch thick. This will serve as the delicious canvas for your Doritos Pizza Rolls.
- Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the dough, ensuring to leave a small margin at the edges for that perfect seal.
- Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese and chopped pepperoni over the sauce, distributing the toppings evenly for maximum flavor in every bite.
- Roll the dough tightly from the long side, resembling a jelly roll. This will create those delightful swirls of flavor that you’ll soon be savoring.
- Cut the roll into 1-inch slices, and here comes the fun part – dip each slice into the melted butter, coating it entirely for that extra richness.
- Roll each butter-coated slice in the crushed Doritos, ensuring to cover every inch with that iconic crunch.
- Place the slices, cut side down, on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, ready to be transformed into golden perfection.
- Bake your Doritos Pizza Rolls for 15-20 minutes, or until they reach a heavenly golden crispiness that will have your taste buds singing with delight.
- Serve your freshly baked Doritos Pizza Rolls warm, accompanied by extra pizza sauce for dipping, and get ready to watch them disappear before your eyes.
Notes
Serving Suggestions:
- Serve Warm: Doritos Pizza Rolls are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven when they’re still warm and ooey-gooey with melted cheese. Be sure to serve them promptly to capture that perfect moment of cheesy goodness.
- Accompaniments: While these rolls are delicious on their own, you can take them to the next level by offering a variety of dipping sauces alongside. Marinara sauce, ranch dressing, or garlic aioli all complement the flavors of Doritos Pizza Rolls beautifully.
- Garnish: For an extra touch of flavor and visual appeal, consider garnishing your Doritos Pizza Rolls with freshly chopped herbs such as basil or parsley. Not only will this add a pop of color, but it will also infuse each bite with aromatic freshness.
- Presentation: Arrange your Doritos Pizza Rolls on a serving platter or wooden board, garnished with a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese or a drizzle of balsamic glaze for a restaurant-worthy presentation that will impress your guests.
Storage Tips:
- Refrigeration: If you have any leftover Doritos Pizza Rolls (though they’re sure to disappear quickly!), store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They can be kept for up to 2-3 days.
- Reheating: To reheat your chilled Doritos Pizza Rolls, simply pop them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes, or until heated through. This will help restore their crispy exterior and melty interior.
- Freezing: Doritos Pizza Rolls can also be frozen for longer-term storage. Place them in a single layer on a baking sheet and freeze until solid, then transfer to a freezer-safe bag or container. They can be kept in the freezer for up to 1 month. To reheat from frozen, bake them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 15-20 minutes, or until heated through.
