How to Make Doritos Pizza Rolls Recipe

Step 1: Prep the Doritos Coating

Crush Doritos into fine crumbs using a food processor or by sealing them in a zip-top bag and smashing with a rolling pin. Transfer to a shallow bowl.

Step 2: Roll Out the Dough

Unroll pizza dough on a lightly floured surface. Cut into squares (roughly 3×3 inches) to make rolling easier.

Step 3: Assemble the Rolls

Spoon a small amount of pizza sauce into the center of each dough square. Add a pinch of mozzarella and a few mini pepperonis.

Step 4: Seal and Shape

Fold the dough around the filling, pinching edges to seal and forming a ball.

Step 5: Egg Wash and Doritos Crust

Beat the egg in a bowl. Dip each dough ball into the egg wash, then roll it in the Doritos crumbs until fully coated.

Step 6: Bake to Perfection

Place coated rolls on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Lightly spray with olive oil. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 15-18 minutes or until golden and crispy.

For another pizza twist, don’t miss the Garlic Butter Bacon Alfredo Pizza Twists that are equally indulgent.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Overfilling the dough: This can cause leaks during baking.
  • Skipping egg wash: Without it, Doritos crumbs won’t stick properly.
  • Undercooking: Ensure they’re golden brown for maximum crispiness.
  • Not crushing Doritos finely: Large chunks won’t adhere well to the dough.
