    • Carefully roll out the pizza crust onto a flat surface. Evenly spread cream cheese onto the pizza crust.
      1 tube refrigerated pizza crust, â…“ cup whipped cream cheese
    • Layer pizza sauce on top of the cream cheese. Sprinkle half of the mozzarella cheese, parmesan cheese, and then the remaining mozzarella.

    Notes

    • Using floss really makes cutting the pizza slices easy and creates clean slices. If you don’t have floss, use a serrated knife and wet it between each cut for clean, easy slices.
    • You can customize this pizza roll recipe however you like. I recommend using cream cheese as a sauce base, then customizing it with whatever sauces and toppings you enjoy most! It would be amazing with garlic white sauce and spinach like a Bianca pizza.
    • You can also air fry pizza rolls for 8-10 minutes at 400°F, flipping halfway through.
