Pesto Pizza Rolls

It's almost Super Bowl time!! Football fans of any team will love these Pesto Pizza Rolls. They are chock full of flavor and the best part...they won't break the bank. This recipe makes 20 rolls but can easily be doubled. They can also be made a day ahead, leaving you time to actually sit down and enjoy the game!

Pesto with gooey cheese and spicy pepperoni...
perfection in my book!
Pizza Rolls
Ingredients:
1 recipe for Pizza dough (found here)
1/4 cup of prepared pesto (more or less according to your taste)
4-6 ounces thin sliced pepperoni
4 ounces of shredded mozzarella
marinara for dipping

Directions:
Divide dough into two equal portions. Roll out one portion of dough on a lightly floured surface. Roll out to about a 12x6 rectangle.
Spread 2 tablespoons of pesto onto the dough then layer the pepperoni on and sprinkle half the cheese on top of that. Roll-up dough cinnamon roll style, pinching the seam to seal.
Cut into 10 equal pieces. Place on parchment paper. Repeat with second piece of dough. Let rise for 20-25 minutes.
Heat oven to 375, bake for 20-25min. Just until tops start to brown.
Serve with warmed marinara.

Yield: 20 rolls

Note: If making ahead, only cook for 15 minutes and let cool completely before storing in the fridge or freezer. When time to use, preheat oven to 350 and cook for approx. 7 minutes.
