In This Post

I’ve always been a fan of sneaking veggies into dishes to get my kid to eat more of them. Case in point: This creamy lemon pasta with ham and peas, cheesy chicken and broccoli pasta, and pasta with turkey sausage and peas, and of course these stuffed pizza rolls which, I can assure you, have been happily and eagerly devoured by both adults and children. This recipe for cheesy stuffed pizza rolls comes from blogger Catherine McCord of the blog Weelicious. It’s featured in her cookbook Weelicious Lunches: Think Outside the Lunch Box with More Than 160 Happier Meals. They’re perfectly cheesy, fun to make with kiddos, and also make great leftovers—perfect for adding to lunchboxes, after-school snacks, and late-night treats (looking at you, parents). You can make them with pre-made pizza dough from the grocery or even from your favorite local pizza joint, or if you’ve got a bit more time on your hands, you can make this super simple dough recipe.

What’s in These Pizza Rolls

All you need are a handful of simple ingredients to make these easy stuffed pizza rolls. They’re also easily customizable based on what you have in your own pantry and fridge. Here’s what you’ll need:

Olive oil
Pizza dough (make your own), or buy prepared dough from the grocery or your favorite pizzeria
Pizza sauce (opt for a veg-heavy one)
Mozzarella cheese
Broccoli (or other toppings)

Ingredient Swaps or Additions

Make a homemade dough if you want, or pick up some dough from your favorite pizzeria
Add pepperoni, bacon, or sausage
Ham and pineapple would be a yummy combo
Try spinach instead of broccoli
Add peppers, mushrooms, or olives
Add Parmesan or ricotta

How to Make These Pizza Rolls

The beauty of these easy pizza rolls is they’re hands-on (great to get kids involved) and fun to make. Here’s how:

Prep your pan. Preheat the oven to 400°F and oil the muffin cups.

Roll your dough. Roll out the pizza dough to ¼ inch thick, making a 10 X 20-inch rectangle.

Add the fillings. Spread the marinara sauce in a thin layer across the surface of the dough. Sprinkle with the cheese and broccoli or your favorite topping. Roll up the dough lengthwise to form a 20-inch log and pinch the seam together.

Slice and bake. Slice the log into 2-inch pieces. Place the pizza rolls in the muffin cups and pat down slightly. Bake for 25 minutes or until golden and bubbly and the center of the dough is cooked through.
