Notes

These pizza rolls are super versatile! Feel free to add your kids' favorite toppings inside. To make ahead, you can prepare the rolls and freeze them before baking. When you’re ready to eat, just pop them in the oven straight from the freezer, adding a few extra minutes to the baking time. These make great party appetizers or after-school snacks too!
