Ingredients + Substitutions
- Frozen Dinner Rolls – Essential to use frozen dinner roll dough, not pre-baked frozen rolls. The Rhodes brand is recommended, but any available at your local store should work. Alternatively, you can opt for small balls of pizza dough or canned biscuit dough, but the rolls are extremely tasty, so they are highly recommended. They are worth the wait for them to rise.
- Marinara Sauce – Opt for your preferred store-bought marinara or pizza sauce, or prepare a quick homemade version.
- Mozzarella Cheese – Any type of mozzarella cheese will suffice. Choose from part-skim, pre-shredded, or fresh options. If using fresh mozzarella stored in water, make sure to drain and pat it dry.To make a supreme-style pizza, we opted for bell peppers, pepperoni, Italian sausage, Italian seasoning, and black olives. You can select your family’s preferred pizza toppings to create a delicious meal that everyone will love. Check out the recipe card below for a detailed list of ingredients and quantities.
