- 1/4 cup melted butter
Base and Crust Ingredients:
- 1 can refrigerated pizza dough
- 1/2 cup pizza sauce
- 1 cup crushed Nacho Cheese Doritos

- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Instructions
- Create a clean workspace and set the oven to 375F (190C), preparing a parchment-lined baking sheet for crispy pizza rolls.
- Spread pizza dough on a floured surface, carefully cutting into uniform rectangular sections that will comfortably hold savory fillings.
- Layer each dough rectangle with a thin spread of pizza sauce, creating a flavor foundation for the rolls.
- Generously distribute shredded mozzarella cheese across the sauced surface, ensuring even coverage.
- Strategically place mini pepperoni slices and pre-cooked sausage crumbles onto the cheese layer for robust protein elements.
- Pulverize Nacho Cheese Doritos into fine crumbs, then combine with melted butter, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning to create a crunchy coating mixture.
- Meticulously roll each prepared pizza bundle into the seasoned Doritos crumb mixture, guaranteeing complete and even coverage.
- Arrange coated rolls onto the prepared baking sheet, maintaining slight separation between each piece.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes until the exterior turns golden brown and develops a satisfying crisp texture.
- Remove from oven, let cool briefly, and serve immediately with additional pizza sauce for an indulgent dipping experience.
Notes
- Crush Doritos coarsely to maintain texture and ensure even coating on pizza rolls.
- Avoid overfilling rolls to prevent bursting and leaking during baking.
- Use room temperature ingredients for better mixing and consistent cooking results.
- Consider using gluten-free pizza dough and alternative chips for dietary restrictions.
