For the Rolls

• 1 package (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough: The base for your pizza rolls.
• 1/2 cup pizza sauce: Brings that classic pizza flavor.
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese: For that ooey-gooey cheesy goodness.
• 1/2 cup mini pepperoni slices (or diced pepperoni): Adds a meaty, savory touch.
• Optional toppings: Olives, mushrooms, bell peppers, or any of your favorite pizza toppings.

For the Topping

• 1/4 cup crushed Doritos (any flavor you like): Adds a fun, crunchy twist. Nacho Cheese, Cool Ranch, or Spicy Sweet Chili all work great!
• 1 tbsp Italian seasoning: Brings a burst of herbaceous flavor.
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese: Adds a savory, cheesy finish.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Follow these simple steps to create your own batch of Doritos Pizza Rolls:

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

• Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
• Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or lightly greasing it to prevent sticking.

Step 2: Assemble the Pizza Rolls

1. Unroll the Crescent Dough:
   Open the package of crescent roll dough and separate it into individual triangles.
2. Add the Pizza Sauce:
   Spread a small spoonful of pizza sauce over each triangle, leaving a little space around the edges.
3. Layer the Toppings:
   Sprinkle each triangle with shredded mozzarella cheese and add a few mini pepperoni slices (or diced pepperoni).
   Optional: Add any extra toppings like sliced olives, mushrooms, or bell peppers for a personalized touch.
4. Roll Them Up:
   Starting from the wide end, roll up each triangle, tucking in the sides slightly to seal in the toppings. Place the rolls seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 3: Add the Doritos Topping

1. Prepare the Topping:
   In a small bowl, mix together 1/4 cup crushed Doritos, 1 tbsp Italian seasoning, and 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese.
2. Top the Rolls:
   Sprinkle the Doritos mixture generously over each rolled crescent, pressing lightly to help it stick.

Step 4: Bake the Pizza Rolls

• Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and the cheese is fully melted.

Step 5: Serve & Enjoy

• Let the Doritos Pizza Rolls cool for a few minutes before serving.
• Serve them warm with extra pizza sauce or ranch dressing for dipping.

Serving Suggestions

These Doritos Pizza Rolls are incredibly versatile. Here are a few ways to enjoy them:

Tips for Success

1. Choose Your Doritos Wisely: Different flavors will give you different results. Go with Nacho Cheese for a classic taste, or try Cool Ranch for a tangy twist.
2. Don’t Overfill: Be careful not to overstuff the rolls, as too much filling can cause them to burst during baking.
3. Seal the Edges: Pinch the edges tightly to keep the filling from spilling out while baking.
4. Use Fresh Dough: Make sure your crescent roll dough is fresh and cold for the best texture and easy handling.
