Ingredients

- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese Creamy and stretchy cheese binds your filling.
- 10 slices pepperoni (or your choice of filling) Brings savory heartiness to every bite.
- 1 large egg (for egg wash) Gives your rolls a golden, crispy finish.
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning (optional) Elevates flavor profile.
- Marinara sauce (for dipping, optional) Pairs well for a classic pizza experience.
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Crush the Doritos in a ziplock bag until they resemble coarse crumbs.
- Roll out mini portions of the pizza dough into circles about 3 inches in diameter.
- Place mozzarella cheese and pepperoni in the center of each circle; add Italian seasoning if desired.
- Fold the dough over to form half-moons and seal tightly.
- Dip each roll in beaten egg, then coat with crushed Doritos.
- Place on a greased baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.
Serving
- Serve hot with marinara sauce for dipping.
Notes
For an extra touch of flavor, try mixing in some chopped vegetables like bell peppers or olives with your cheese and pepperoni filling. If you want to make them easier, consider using a rolling pin to flatten the dough before cutting them into circles. Experiment with different flavors of Doritos.
