Grilled Pepperoni Pizza Rolls

Pizza is life

Yes for me, pizza is so much more than amazingly delicious food. It’s a way of life for me. It’s therapy at times. It’s comforting. It’s home.

Pizza is one of those things that truly make me happy. Well aside from Mr. Fantabulous naturally. There’s just something about working the dough by hand, adding the toppings, and throwing it into the oven.

And to know me, you know I’ll pizzafy pretty much anything. Whether it’s shaped as a traditional pizza or pizza toppings put into things like these pizza rolls, I’m gonna pizzafy it!

Grilled Pepperoni Pizza Rolls

Let’s Make Pizza Rolls

First, you’re going to need just a few ingredients:

  • Prepared Pizza Dough
  • Cheese – yes please only use freshly shredded
  • Pepperoni
  • Pizza Sauce
  • Seasonings
Grilled Pepperoni Pizza Rolls
  1. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a 12″x15″ rectangle.
  2. Sprinkle on half of the seasonings, spread out the pizza sauce in a thin layer, cheese, and pepperoni.
  3. Grabbing the long end roll up like a log, gently pinching the ends to seal.
  4. Using a serrated knife, cut the rolls into 1″ round pieces

Butter your pan

As you know, I LOVE Emile Henry and their products. Their Emile Henry Chicago Deep Dish Baker is phenomenal and something I use for way more than just pizza.

But today, we’re using it for these rolls.

Grilled Pepperoni Pizza Rolls
  1. Butter the pan, bottom, and sides then place the cut rolls into the pan
  2. Cover with sprayed plastic wrap and allow to rise for 45-60 minutes. They should be all puffy and have almost no space between the rolls showing.

Let’s heat things up!

While the rolls are doing their thing getting all puffy, heat up your grill and set it up for indirect heat.

  1. For the Big Green Egg, add the convEGGtor, legs facing up, and add a grill grate. Heat up to 425F. This should take about 35-40 minutes. If it’s done sooner, that’s fine. It’s better to have the grill and the grates at the correct temp.

Bake the rolls

  1. To the preheated grill, place the uncovered pan with the risen rolls onto the grate and close the lid.
  2. Bake for 12-18 minutes or until the tops are golden brown and the cheese is melted.
  3. When done, remove from the egg, allow to set for a couple of minutes and then serve.

What to serve with pepperoni pizza rolls

Go with what you like! For me I’m all about:

  • Warmed Pizza Sauce
  • Ranch
  • Hot Honey

How to reheat pepperoni pizza rolls

What’s this reheat stuff? Do you mean you actually think you’re going to have leftovers? haha Just teasing. Reheating is super simple.

  • Oven – preheat the oven to 350 F and line a pan with foil or parchment. Place the roll(s) onto the pan and place in the oven for 5-10 minutes or until warmed through
  • Microwave – no, never; end of story.

How to make these in the oven

The process is exactly the same as the grill.

  1. Butter the pan and place the sliced rolls in it to proof.
  2. 30 minutes into the proof, preheat the oven to 425F, and rack in the middle.
  3. When you’re ready to bake, remove the plastic wrap and bake until GBD – Golden, Brown, and Delicious.

The reason why the process is the same as when you’re using the big green egg, you’re using indirect heat which acts similarly to an oven.
