Prep Time 20 minutes
Cook Time 20 minutes
Total Time 40 minutes
Servings 12 rolls

Ingredients
  

  • 1 package refrigerated pizza dough or 1 recipe homemade pizza dough
  • 1 cup pizza sauce
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup diced pepperoni
  • 2 tablespoons butter melted
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent cheese from sticking.
  • Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface into a 15×10 inch rectangle, about 1/4 inch thick. Let the dough rest for 5 minutes if it keeps springing back.
  • Spread pizza sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border along one long edge to help seal the roll.
  • Sprinkle mozzarella cheese over the sauce and evenly distribute diced pepperoni, pressing them down slightly to stick.
  • Starting from the long edge, tightly roll up the dough like a jelly roll, pulling back slightly with each roll. Pinch the seam to seal it and place the roll seam-side down.
  • Using a sharp serrated knife, cut the roll into 12 even pieces with a gentle sawing motion.
  • Place the rolls on the prepared baking sheet, leaving 2 inches between each. Brush melted butter mixed with Italian seasoning and garlic powder over each roll.
  • Sprinkle Parmesan cheese on top for a golden crust while baking.
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown, the cheese is bubbly, and the bottom edges are deep golden.
  • Let the rolls cool for 5 minutes before serving to allow the cheese to set and avoid hot filling spilling out.
