Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 can refrigerated pizza dough
- 1/2 cup (118 milliliters) pizza sauce
- 1 cup (236 milliliters) shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup (118 milliliters) mini pepperoni slices
- 1/2 cup (118 milliliters) cooked ground beef, seasoned
Topping Ingredients:
- 1 cup (236 milliliters) crushed Nacho Cheese Doritos
Seasoning Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup (59 milliliters) melted butter
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Instructions
- Prepare the oven by heating to 375°F (190°C) and arranging a parchment-lined baking sheet for optimal cooking surface.
- Gently stretch and flatten the pizza dough into uniform rectangular shapes, ensuring even thickness across the surface.
- Layer each dough section with a harmonious blend of tangy pizza sauce, creating a vibrant base for the filling.
- Generously sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese, creating a creamy foundation for the subsequent ingredients.
- Distribute seasoned ground beef evenly across the cheese layer, ensuring consistent meat coverage.
- Strategically place pepperoni slices to enhance flavor and provide additional protein complexity.
- Carefully roll the dough rectangles into compact cylindrical shapes, meticulously sealing the edges to prevent filling leakage.
- Crush Doritos chips into fine, textured crumbs, creating a crunchy exterior coating.
- Thoroughly coat each rolled pizza bundle with the crushed Doritos mixture, ensuring complete and even coverage.
- Position the prepared rolls onto the prepared baking sheet, maintaining slight separation between each piece.
- Transfer to the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, watching for a golden-brown transformation and crispy exterior.
- Remove from oven and allow a brief cooling period before serving to let flavors meld and prevent potential burns.
Notes
- Crush Doritos finely for an even, crispy coating that sticks perfectly to the pizza rolls.
- Choose lean ground beef to reduce excess grease and keep the rolls light and crunchy.
- Experiment with different Doritos flavors like Nacho Cheese or Cool Ranch for unique taste variations.
- Ensure pizza rolls are tightly sealed to prevent filling from leaking during baking.
