Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound pizza dough, homemade or store-bought
- 1 cup sliced pepperoni
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup marinara sauce, plus extra for dipping
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- Olive oil, for brushing
- Grated Parmesan cheese, for sprinkling
- Fresh basil leaves, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a large rectangle, about 1/4 inch thick.
- Spread marinara sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce and arrange the pepperoni slices on top. Sprinkle with Italian seasoning and garlic powder.
- Starting with the long side, roll the dough tightly into a log. Slice the log into 1-inch thick rounds.
- Place the rounds on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each roll. Brush the tops with olive oil and sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
- Let the pizza rolls cool for a few minutes before garnishing with chopped fresh basil. Serve with extra marinara sauce for dipping.
