FAQs
Can I freeze these pizza rolls?
Yes, you can freeze the assembled but unbaked pizza rolls. Wrap them individually in plastic wrap and place in a freezer bag for up to 2 months. Bake them directly from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the baking time.
Can I use other sauces besides pizza sauce?
Absolutely! Marinara, pesto, or even ranch dressing can be great alternatives, depending on your flavor preference.
