Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of cheese?
Absolutely! Feel free to substitute the mozzarella with provolone, cheddar, or even a vegan cheese if you prefer. Mixing different cheeses can create a more complex flavor profile that enhances the overall dish.
Can I freeze the pizza rolls?
Yes, you can freeze the unbaked pizza rolls. Just cut them and place them on a baking sheet to freeze individually before transferring to a freezer-safe bag. When ready to cook, bake from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the cooking time.
What other toppings can I add?
