Notes
Ingredient Substitutions: If you’re short on ricotta, cottage cheese makes a great substitute. You can also swap pepperoni for turkey pepperoni or even diced veggies for a vegetarian twist. Optional Variations: Try adding other ingredients like diced bell peppers, cooked sausage, or olives for a different flavor profile. Storage or Reheating Tips: Store any leftover rolls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for a few minutes to restore their crispness.
