Beef pepperoni pizza rolls (Printable version)

Cheesy rolls with beef pepperoni, mozzarella, and tomato sauce baked to golden perfection for snacks or parties.

# What You'll Need:

01 - 1 lb pizza dough, store-bought or homemade

02 - 1 cup pizza sauce or marinara sauce

03 - 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese

04 - 4 oz sliced beef pepperoni

05 - ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese

06 - 1 tsp dried Italian herbs (oregano, basil)

07 - 1 tbsp olive oil

08 - ½ tsp garlic powder

09 - 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley (optional)

01 - Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

02 - On a lightly floured surface, roll out pizza dough to a rectangle about 12x10 inches.

03 - Spread pizza sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a ½-inch border.

04 - Sprinkle mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce. Arrange beef pepperoni slices on top, then sprinkle with Parmesan and Italian herbs.

05 - Starting from one long side, roll up the dough tightly into a log. Pinch the seam to seal.

06 - Using a sharp knife, slice the log into 12 even pieces.

07 - Place rolls cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet, spacing slightly apart. Brush tops with olive oil and sprinkle with garlic powder.

08 - Bake for 16-18 minutes, or until golden brown and cheese is bubbling.

09 - Cool slightly, sprinkle with parsley if desired, and serve warm.

01 -

They come together faster than delivery can arrive, and the smell fills your whole house
The combination of beef pepperoni and three cheeses creates the perfect balance of salty and creamy

02 -

Use ungreased parchment paper instead of cooking spray, otherwise the bottoms can get soggy instead of crispy
Let the rolls rest for at least 3 minutes after baking, or the cheese will burn your mouth and the filling will slide out

03 -

If the dough keeps shrinking back while you roll it, let it rest on the counter for 10 minutes to relax the gluten
Chill your pepperoni in the freezer for 15 minutes before slicing to get extra thin, even pieces
