# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • They crisp up on the outside while staying impossibly gooey on the inside, giving you that textural contrast that makes eating feel like an event.
  • Fifteen minutes of prep means you can have hot pizza rolls on the table before anyone finishes their first snack complaint.
  • They freeze beautifully unbaked, so you can stash a batch and bake straight from frozen when hunger strikes without thawing.
02 -
  • Don't skip the cooling period—slicing too soon causes all your cheese to spill out, though honestly that's just extra melted pizza to eat with a fork.
  • The seam-side-down placement is crucial because it seals the filling inside and creates that satisfying crust when it bakes.
03 -
  • Slightly softened tortillas roll without cracking or tearing, so leaving them out for ten minutes before assembly prevents frustration.
  • Dicing your pepperoni and vegetables smaller than you think necessary keeps the filling distributed evenly and makes rolling infinitely easier.
