PIZZA POPPERS

Both my husband and I are big pizza fans, so we created these pizza rolls that we like to take to parties. I think they'd be fun to set out for Santa to enjoy, along with his milk and cookies!

These pizza poppers were a bit too greasy for my taste, but overall they were still pretty good.

I'm not a big fan of pizza, but these pizza poppers were surprisingly good! The dough was light and fluffy, and the filling was cheesy and flavorful.

These pizza poppers were a total flop. The dough was too dry and the filling was flavorless. I don't recommend this recipe.

I made these pizza poppers for my friends and they raved about them! They said they were the best pizza poppers they'd ever had.

I'm allergic to dairy. Do you think I could use a dairy-free cheese in this recipe?

I'm not sure why, but my pizza poppers didn't turn out as golden brown as the ones in the picture. Maybe I didn't cook them long enough?

I would love to try making these pizza poppers in the air fryer. I think they would be even healthier that way.

The pizza poppers were a bit bland. I think I would have liked them better if I had added more spices to the filling.

These pizza poppers were a little too greasy for my taste. I think I would have liked them better if I had used less oil.

I followed the recipe exactly and the pizza poppers turned out great! They were golden brown and crispy on the outside, and the cheese was melted and gooey on the inside.
