Ingredients
- 1 pound pizza dough
- 1/2 cup pizza sauce
- 30 slices pepperoni
- 1 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 3 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon water
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Roll out the pizza dough into an even rectangle, approximately 10 by 14 inches.
3. Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the dough, leaving about a 1-inch border along one of the long edges. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce, layer the pepperoni slices on top, and finish by adding garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and oregano.
4. Begin at the long end opposite the clean border and tightly roll the dough into a log shape, pinching the seam firmly to seal it.
5. Cut the log into 12 equal pieces, approximately 1 inch thick each. Arrange them cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet.
6. In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water for an egg wash. Brush the tops of each roll-up generously with this mixture and sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese.
7. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until golden brown and bubbly.
8. Once baked, brush the tops with melted butter and serve warm with extra pizza sauce.
Notes
Consider using whole wheat or gluten-free pizza dough for a healthier option.
You can swap mozzarella for provolone or cheddar for a different twist.
Incorporate vegetables like spinach or bell peppers for added nutrition without losing flavor.
