Ingredients in Spinach Dip Rolls
Here’s what makes these rolls so special—they’re made with a few simple ingredients, but when they come together, magic happens. Let’s break it down:
Spinach: The base of the dip, giving you that leafy, earthy flavor. You can use fresh or frozen spinach (just be sure to squeeze out excess water if using frozen).
Cream Cheese: This adds that rich, creamy texture that makes every bite feel indulgent. It’s a must for that dip-like experience inside each roll.
Shredded Cheese: Choose your favorite melty cheese—cheddar, mozzarella, or a blend. The cheese is what makes these rolls gooey and delicious.
Sour Cream: For extra creaminess and a little tang that balances out the richness.
Garlic Powder: Because everything tastes better with garlic! It adds that perfect savory punch.
Dough: Use store-bought pizza dough or make your own. It’s the perfect base to hold all that creamy filling inside.
(Note: the full ingredients list, including measurements, is provided in the recipe card directly below.)
Instructions
Let’s dive into the steps to create this delicious masterpiece:
Preheat Your Oven
Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). You want it nice and hot for that golden, crispy finish on your rolls.
Prepare the Filling
In a large mixing bowl, combine the spinach, cream cheese, shredded cheese, sour cream, and garlic powder. Stir until everything is fully mixed and smooth. This creamy filling is going to be the star of the show!
Roll Out the Dough
On a floured surface, roll out your pizza dough into a large rectangle. It doesn’t have to be perfect—just enough space to spread the filling evenly across.
Assemble the Rolls
Spread the spinach dip filling evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges. Then, roll the dough tightly into a log, starting from one of the long sides. Make sure it’s snug, but not too tight.
Slice and Arrange
Slice the rolled dough into individual rolls (about 1-inch wide), and place them in a greased baking dish. Arrange them close together, as they’ll puff up while baking.
Bake to Perfection
Pop the rolls into the preheated oven and bake for about 15–20 minutes, or until they’re golden brown and the cheese inside is bubbling. Keep an eye on them to make sure they don’t overbake!
Cool and Serve
Let the rolls cool for a few minutes before serving. This gives the cheese time to set just enough so they don’t fall apart. But I won’t blame you if you can’t wait!
Serve and Enjoy
Serve these warm with your favorite dipping sauce—ranch, marinara, or even extra buffalo sauce if you’re feeling spicy.

How to Serve Spinach Dip Rolls
These rolls are so tasty on their own, but if you want to make a full meal or add a little something extra, here are some great pairings:
Side Salad: Pair with a light, fresh salad for a pop of color and freshness that balances the richness of the rolls.
Soup: Serve with a bowl of tomato soup for that ultimate comfort-food combo.
Dipping Sauces: Ranch, marinara, or even a little honey mustard—these rolls love to be dipped.
Garlic Bread: Because you can never have too much garlic when it comes to savory dishes!
Additional Tips
Prep Ahead: Make the filling ahead of time and store it in the fridge. When you’re ready to assemble the rolls, it’ll be even quicker to put together.
Freeze the Rolls: You can assemble the rolls ahead of time, freeze them, and bake them later. Perfect for meal prep or a quick snack on a busy day!
Spice It Up: Add red pepper flakes to the filling for a little heat, or try a sprinkle of Italian seasoning for extra flavor.
Dough Tips: If you’re using store-bought dough, make sure it’s fully thawed before rolling it out to prevent it from being too sticky.
