Description

These pizza rolls are so much better than store bought. Serve them as a light lunch or as appetizers for parties or on game day. Change up to fit your desired tastes.

Ingredients

• 1 lb. fresh, frozen or refrigerated pizza dough, thawed
• 1/2 c. sweet BBQ sauce, plus extra for serving*
• 1 1/4 c. shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese, divided
• 1 c. finely chopped, cooked chicken (leftover or rotisserie work great)
• 3 T. finely chopped red onion
• 1/4 t. crushed red pepper flakes, optional
• 3 slices bacon, cooked crisp, drained and finely chopped, optional
• chopped fresh parsley leaves, for garnish
• 1 t. vegetable oil for greasing the pan, plus more for oiling the bowl

Steps

1. If pizza dough is frozen, follow instructions for thawing. If using refrigerated dough, place in a well oiled bowl; cover; allow to come to room temperature, 1 - 2 hours.
2. Lightly oil a large 9 or 10 inch round skillet or baking pan. Cast iron skillets work well for pizza. Set aside.
3. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Lightly flour a clean work surface.
