  • Total Time: 30-35 minutes
  • Yield: 12 pizza rolls

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 package of pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
  • 200g sliced pepperoni
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup marinara sauce (for dipping)
  • 1 egg (for egg wash)
  • Optional: chopped basil or oregano for extra flavor

Instructions

  1. Start by rolling out your pizza dough on a floured surface into a thin rectangle. If preferred, use store-bought dough for convenience.
  2. Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
  3. Evenly distribute the sliced pepperoni and sprinkle shredded mozzarella and Parmesan cheese over the sauce. Add optional herbs for extra flavor.
  4. Carefully roll the dough tightly from one long side to the other, sealing the edge.
  5. Use a sharp knife to cut the rolled dough into evenly sized slices, about 1 to 1.5 inches thick.
  6. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the pizza rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  7. Brush the tops with a whisked egg for a golden finish. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until bubbly and golden brown.
  8. Remove from oven and let cool slightly before serving. Serve with additional marinara sauce or alongside a fresh salad.

Notes

  • You can add cooked sausage or shredded chicken to boost protein content.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat in an oven or air fryer to maintain crispiness, avoiding the microwave.
  • Customize fillings by including vegetables like bell peppers or different cheeses.
