These 3-Ingredient Pizza Rolls Destroy Hot Pockets

We all know that Hot Pockets were God’s answer to the burning question, “How can I make my pizza more fun to eat?” Unfortunately, the devil got a piece of the action as well. He never fails to scald the insides of our mouths as we take that first bite of lukewarm bread only to reach the fiery cheese and sauce within.

Enter our better solution: the homemade pizza roll. This simple pizza roll recipe will make Hot Pockets and their dangerous insides a thing of the past. Not only are these pizza rolls a delicious daytime snack or late-night drunchie, but they’re also great for impressing your friends and even your mom (she’ll be proud that you’ve moved on from the microwave to the oven).
