Grown-Up Pizza Rolls: Stuffed, Cheesy Goodness

I’m a 90s kid and admittedly grew up eating way too many Totino’s Pizza Rolls.  I know that these days, it’s just a bit of nostalgia and I could never bring myself to buy a bag of those frozen goodies, much to Josh’s dismay.  But let’s be honest, we haven’t even owned a microwave in two years.  That said, I’m still a sucker for pizza-everything and of course, I passed that down to my kids!  So this week we decided to break out this old family favorite and try it in our new cast iron skillet.  It was a hit, as usual.  Bonus points, this version doesn’t squirt lava-hot liquid down your face when you bite into them!

Let’s Make Some Pizza Rolls!

We make our own pizza dough using this quick recipe from Money Saving Mom.  White whole wheat flour keeps the rolls full of healthy grains, but still light and fluffy.  Recently, we discovered Nello’s Lavender Pomodoro sauce and it became an instant favorite to serve alongside our pizza rolls.
