How to Make Mini Pizzas with Rhodes Dinner Rolls

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spray the paper with non-stick cooking spray.

3. Take 12 Rhodes Dinner Rolls (frozen rolls) out of the freezer, cover them with a piece of plastic wrap, and let them sit at room temperature for 3-5 hours or until they are thawed and risen. (Hint: I spray the plastic wrap with non-stick spray so that it won’t stick to the dough balls) Actual time for complete thawing depends on the temperature of your kitchen.

If you don’t have 3-5 hours, there is a quicker thawing method. For the quick thaw method, place the frozen rolls on a microwave safe plate and microwave on high for 30 seconds. Then flip the Rhodes rolls over and microwave for another 30 seconds.

4. After thawing and on a lightly floured surface, use a rolling pin to flatten each of the Rhodes rolls into a small circle about 4 inches in diameter.

5. Place the flattened Rhodes rolls onto the prepared baking sheet.

6. Leaving a small border around the edges, spread about 1 tablespoon of pizza sauce onto each of the flattened Rhodes rolls.

7. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the pizza sauce, and then add sliced pepperoni, diced green bell pepper, diced onion, sliced black olives, or other toppings of your choosing on top of the mozzarella cheese.

Tips and Tricks for Mini Pizzas

For the best results, use the best frozen dinner rolls, Rhodes Dinner Rolls.
For a perfect pizza crust that’s a bit crispier, brush the edges of the flattened Rhodes rolls with melted butter before baking.
Try different cheese blends, such as cheddar with Parmesan, crumbled feta cheese, or another of your favorite cheeses.

Topping Favorites

Use leftover cooked sausage or bacon instead of pepperoni.
Turn up the heat with sliced jalapeños or red pepper flakes.
Create a pizza that’s both sweet and savory pizza by adding pineapple chunks or sliced apples, to cooked bacon, ham or Canadian bacon.
