Pizza Ranch Rollups
Have you ever been to Old Chicago and had their Sicilian Pizza Rolls? I haven’t BUT my sister-in-law has and liked them so much that she decided to re-create them at home. Several years ago (when I was still in college) she made these as a snack when we’d stopped over at their house. They were tasty and have great pizza flavor. We’ve made them on a regular basis since then – either as an appetizer or sometimes as a dinner when we have a movie night.
Here’s what you need:
Start by separating the crescent rolls into rectangles and pinching together the perforations that are meant to separate them into triangles.
Now spread on some ranch dressing. Leave a little bit of an edge on one side which you’ll use to pinch it together once it’s rolled up.
And lay on some pepperoni. I like to cut the pepperoni into either halves or quarters. If you leave them in whole rounds, I find that when I bite in the whole pepperoni pulls out with the bite.
Finally, some mozzarella cheese.
Roll them them up.
Pinch together the seam and cut the roll in half.
Now stand the rolls up on a parchment lined baking sheet. You probably know by now that I use parchment for almost everything that I bake – but please, please, please, trust me on this – a little bit of cheese & ranch always seeps out of the bottom and it will stick to the pan or even to tinfoil. If you don’t have parchment, I’d recommend using cooking spray.
Bake them in a 375 degree oven for about 10-14 minutes until golden brown. You can of course make them as light or dark as you want them based on your own personal preference.
While the rollups are baking, heat up a little pizza sauce to use for dipping. Enjoy!
