Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 1 can refrigerated pizza dough (or crescent roll dough)
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 4 ounces sliced pepperoni
- 1 tablespoon butter (melted)
- 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
Optional for serving
- Marinara or pizza sauce
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
- Prepare the Dough: Unroll the refrigerated dough and cut it into 8 equal rectangles or triangles depending on the type of dough you use, creating individual portions for the rolls.
- Add Filling: Place a few slices of pepperoni and a generous sprinkle of shredded mozzarella cheese onto each piece of dough, distributing the filling evenly.
- Roll Up: Roll each dough piece up tightly around the filling, tucking in the ends to fully seal and keep the ingredients inside during baking.
- Arrange Rolls: Place each rolled piece seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet to prevent unrolling while baking.
- Brush and Season: Brush the tops of the rolls with melted butter and sprinkle with Italian seasoning and garlic powder to add flavor and a golden crust.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes or until the rolls turn golden brown and the cheese inside is bubbly.
- Serve: Allow the rolls to cool slightly before serving them warm with marinara or pizza sauce for dipping.
Notes
- You can use mini pepperoni slices or chop regular pepperoni into smaller pieces for easier rolling.
- These pepperoni rolls are excellent for school lunches, quick dinners, and party snacks.
