Ingredients
Scale
- 1 refrigerated pizza dough (16 oz)
- 1/2 cup pizza sauce
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/3 cup diced pepperoni
- 2 tbsp freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 3 tbsp melted butter
- 1 tsp garlic minced
- 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Roll out pizza dough on a floured surface into a 12×16-inch rectangle.
- Spread pizza sauce evenly over dough, leaving a 1/2-inch border. Sprinkle mozzarella, pepperoni, Parmesan, parsley, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- Roll dough up tightly along the long side, pinch seam to seal. Cut into 16 equal slices.
- Place rolls seam-side down on baking sheet. Bake 14–16 minutes until golden brown.
- Mix melted butter, minced garlic, and red pepper flakes. Brush hot rolls with garlic butter mixture.
- Serve warm with marinara sauce for dipping.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, bake rolls on a preheated pizza stone or baking steel.
- Make ahead: Freeze uncooked rolls on a tray, then transfer to a bag. Bake frozen — add 3–5 minutes to baking time.
- Vegetarian option: omit pepperoni and add sautéed mushrooms or spinach.
