Ingredients (Makes about 12–16 rolls):
1 can refrigerated pizza dough
½ cup pizza sauce
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
½ cup mini pepperoni slices
½ cup cooked sausage (crumbled or finely chopped)
1 cup crushed Doritos (Nacho Cheese or flavor of your choice)
1 egg (beaten, for egg wash)
Optional: extra marinara or ranch for dipping
How to Make Doritos Pizza Rolls with Sausage
Step 1: Prep the Dough
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly flour a clean surface and roll out the pizza dough into a rectangle, about ¼-inch thick. If it’s too sticky, let it sit at room temp for 10 minutes before rolling.
Step 2: Add the Filling
Spread a thin layer of pizza sauce over the dough, leaving about ½ inch around the edges. Sprinkle on the shredded mozzarella, mini pepperoni, and crumbled sausage evenly.
Step 3: Roll It Up
Starting from the long side, carefully roll the dough into a tight log. Pinch the seam to seal it, then cut the log into 1½ to 2-inch pieces — these will be your pizza rolls.
Step 4: Coat with Doritos Crunch
Lightly crush the Doritos in a food processor or inside a zip-top bag using a rolling pin. Dip each roll into the beaten egg, then roll it in the crushed Doritos until fully coated. Place on a lined baking sheet.
Step 5: Bake Until Golden
Bake in the preheated oven for 14–18 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and the cheese is bubbling. Let cool for a few minutes before serving.
Step 6: Serve with Dips
Serve warm with marinara, ranch, or garlic butter for dipping. They’re crunchy, melty, and impossible to resist.
