Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 package pizza dough
- 1 cup (240 milliliters) shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup (240 milliliters) pepperoni slices
Sauce:
- 1 cup (240 milliliters) pizza sauce
Coating and Preparation:
- 1 bag Doritos (Nacho Cheese or any flavor)
- 1 egg, beaten
- Cooking spray or olive oil
Instructions
- Prepare the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or grease lightly with cooking spray.
- Spread pizza dough on a floured surface until approximately 1/4 inch thick. Slice the dough into 3×3-inch uniform squares.
- Deposit a dollop of pizza sauce at the center of each dough square. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese and arrange pepperoni or preferred toppings.
- Envelop each dough square into a compact roll, meticulously crimping edges to create a tight seal. Apply beaten egg along seams to reinforce closure.
- Transform Doritos into fine, powdery crumbs using a plastic bag or food processor. Coat each pizza dough roll thoroughly in crushed Doritos, gently pressing to ensure complete coverage.
- Arrange Doritos-encrusted rolls on prepared baking sheet. Lightly mist with cooking spray or drizzle olive oil to enhance crispiness.
- Roast in preheated oven for 12-15 minutes until achieving a golden, crisp exterior.
- Allow rolls to rest for several minutes to cool slightly before serving. Consume while warm for optimal flavor and texture.
Notes
- Crush Doritos consistently to ensure even coating and maximum crunch on each pizza roll.
- Try different Doritos flavors like Nacho Cheese, Cool Ranch, or Spicy Nacho to create unique taste variations.
- Use low-moisture mozzarella to prevent soggy rolls and maintain a crispy exterior.
- For gluten-free options, substitute pizza dough with gluten-free dough and use gluten-free Doritos or crushed gluten-free crackers as coating.
