Common Questions
Can I freeze these rollups?
Yes, you can freeze them after baking. Let them cool completely first. Reheat them directly from the freezer in the oven.

You can use pizza dough instead. Just cut it into triangles or squares. The texture will be slightly different but still delicious.
