1. Can I make stuffed pizza rolls ahead of time?

Yes, you can assemble the rolls and store them covered in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours before baking. When ready to bake, let them sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes before putting them in the oven.

2. What’s the best way to reheat stuffed pizza rolls?

For the best texture, reheat them in an oven or air fryer at 350°F for 8–10 minutes. This keeps the crust crisp and the filling warm without getting soggy.

3. Can I freeze stuffed pizza rolls after baking?

Absolutely. Let the rolls cool completely, then store them in an airtight container or freezer bag. To reheat, bake from frozen at 350°F for 15–18 minutes.

4. What other fillings work well in pizza rolls?

You can use almost any cooked pizza toppings: cooked ground beef, mushrooms, bell peppers, olives, spinach, or even pineapple. Just avoid overfilling to prevent leaks.

Instructions

Thaw the frozen rolls at room temperature for about 2 hours or microwave them using 30-second intervals, flipping once, until soft but not risen.
Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease a 9×13 baking dish or line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Flatten each dough ball into a 3-inch circle using your fingers or a rolling pin.
Place 1 tablespoon of shredded mozzarella and about the same amount of pepperoni or sausage in the center of each dough circle.
Fold the edges of the dough around the filling and pinch to seal, then place seam-side down on the baking dish.
In a small bowl, mix melted butter, Italian seasoning, and garlic powder. Brush the mixture over the tops of the rolls.
Sprinkle Parmesan cheese over each roll, then bake for 15–20 minutes until golden brown and fully cooked.
Serve warm with marinara sauce for dipping.

Notes

Don’t overfill the rolls to avoid leaking during baking.
Use biscuit dough or pizza dough as alternatives to frozen rolls.
Reheat in an oven or air fryer for best texture.
Customize with different fillings like mushrooms, peppers, or ham.
Great for prepping ahead; assemble and chill up to 24 hours before baking.
