Description
Learn how to make delicious Cheesy Pepperoni Pizza Roll-Ups. Easy recipe with step-by-step instructions.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 can (13.8 oz) refrigerated pizza dough
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 24–30 slices of pepperoni
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 cup marinara sauce, for dipping
- Optional: Chopped fresh basil for garnish
Feel free to use turkey pepperoni for a lighter version, or try swapping mozzarella for a cheese blend you love. The beauty of this dish lies in its adaptability, much like the versatile meals I used to whip up during my college days.
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface, aiming for a rectangle about 12×8 inches in size.
- Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Layer the pepperoni slices over the cheese, ensuring even coverage.
- Starting from one of the long sides, carefully roll the dough into a tight log, pinching the seam to seal.
- Cut the roll into 1-inch segments and place them cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet.
- In a small bowl, mix together the Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, and garlic powder, and sprinkle over the roll-ups.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
- Serve warm with marinara sauce for dipping, and garnish with fresh basil if desired.
These roll-ups are as straightforward as they sound, but don’t be afraid to get creative. If you’re feeling adventurous, try adding some chopped olives or mushrooms for extra flavor—a tip I learned from countless kitchen experiments.
