Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound refrigerated pizza dough (homemade or store-bought)
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
  • 4 oz pepperoni slices (mini or regular; turkey pepperoni works too)
  • 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh parsley (or 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder (or 2 fresh garlic cloves, minced)
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 clove garlic, grated or finely minced
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil or parsley (or dried)
  • Pinch of salt
  • Olive oil or nonstick spray (for greasing the pan)
  • Marinara sauce, for dipping

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat and lightly oil or spray.
  2. On a lightly floured surface, roll pizza dough into a 12×9-inch rectangle, about 1/4 inch thick. Let rest if dough springs back.
  3. In a bowl, combine mozzarella, cheddar, Parmesan, garlic powder, oregano, parsley (or Italian seasoning), and red pepper flakes. Toss to mix.
  4. Lay pepperoni slices evenly over the dough, leaving a 1/2-inch border. Sprinkle cheese and herb mixture over the pepperoni.
  5. Starting from the long edge, tightly roll the dough into a log. Pinch the seam to seal and place seam-side down.
  6. Slice the log into 10-12 equal rolls (about 1 inch wide).
  7. Arrange rolls cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet, spacing about 2 inches apart.
  8. In a small bowl, mix melted butter with garlic, chopped herbs, and a pinch of salt. Brush tops and sides of each roll with the garlic herb butter.
  9. Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until golden brown and cheese is bubbling. Rotate the sheet halfway through for even browning.
  10. Let rolls cool on the tray for 3-5 minutes. Serve warm with marinara sauce for dipping.

Notes

Let dough rest if it resists rolling. For a vegetarian version, omit pepperoni and add sautéed veggies. Use gluten-free dough and dairy-free cheese for dietary needs. Rolls can be assembled ahead and chilled before baking. For extra golden tops, broil for 1-2 minutes at the end, watching closely.
