# What You'll Need:

→ Pizza roll foundation

01 - 1 can refrigerated pizza dough (approximately 340 g)
02 - 120 ml pizza sauce
03 - 113 g shredded mozzarella cheese

→ Savory meat fillings

04 - 120 g mini pepperoni slices

06 - 1 cup (28 g) Nacho Cheese Doritos, crushed

09 - 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning (approximately 1 g)

→ For serving

10 - Extra pizza sauce for dipping (optional)

# How to Make It:

01 - Preheat oven to 190°C and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ease cleanup.
02 - Roll out the refrigerated pizza dough on a lightly floured surface. Cut it into rectangles approximately 7.5 x 12.5 cm each, suitable for handheld rolls.
03 - Spread about 15 ml of pizza sauce on each rectangle, leaving a border to prevent leaking. Evenly distribute shredded mozzarella, pepperoni slices, and cooked sausage over each piece without overfilling to ensure easy rolling.
04 - Starting from one short end, carefully roll each rectangle into a tight roll. Pinch edges and seams firmly to enclose the fillings completely.
05 - Combine crushed Nacho Cheese Doritos, melted butter, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning in a shallow bowl until uniformly mixed for a flavorful crunchy crust.
06 - Roll each pizza roll individually in the Doritos mixture, pressing gently to ensure coating adherence. Arrange rolls seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
07 - Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes or until rolls are golden brown and crispy, with melted cheese inside.
08 - Allow the rolls to cool slightly for 1 to 2 minutes to avoid burning. Serve warm with extra pizza sauce for dipping.

# Additional Tips:

01 - Ensure sausage is fully cooked before using, as baking time will not finish cooking raw meat.
02 - Crush Doritos to a coarse texture to maintain a crunchy coating.
03 - These appetizers are ideal for gatherings and can be spiced up by substituting Flamin' Hot Doritos.
