Servings: 12 rolls
Calories: 72kcal
Ingredients
- 1 (13.8 ounce) pizza dough
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- ¾ cup marinara sauce divided
- ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 2 Tablespoons unsalted butter melted
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ cup mozzarella cheese shredded
- ¼ cup parmesan cheese shredded
- 30-40 slices pepperoni slices
Instructions
- Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone baking mat. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the the pizza dough into a large rectangle, about 10x12 inches. Brush the top with the olive oil. Using your fingers, push dents into the surface of the dough to prevent bubbling.
- Spread the ⅓ cup pizza sauce on top. Sprinkle with Italian seasoning and garlic powder. Sprinkle ⅓ cup shredded mozzarella cheese and ¼ cup parmesan cheese. Then, top with pepperoni slices.
- Carefully roll dough rectangles into a tight log. Place onto the prepared baking sheet, seam side down and place in the refrigerator to chill, uncovered, for 15 minutes. Chilling helps prevent the rolls from falling apart as you slice.
- While the log chills, preheat the oven to 400ºF. Melt the butter with the garlic powder. Remove the log from the refrigerator and cut into 12 1-inch slices and place back onto the baking sheet. Brush the tops of each with garlic butter. Sprinkle the tops of the rolls with extra cheese, if desired.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes or until the rolls are lightly browned. Serve with fresh basil on top, if desired, and the remaining pizza sauce for dipping. Leftovers stay fresh in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Notes
- Make Ahead & Freezing Instructions: You can make these ahead of time by preparing the rolls through step 3. Cover the rolls tightly and refrigerate up to 1 day. The next day, begin at step 4. The baked pizza rolls freeze for up to 30 months. Bake frozen rolls at 350ºF for 25 minutes or until heated through.
- Baking Options: You can bake these rolls in a muffin pan or 9x13-inch baking pan. Bake time would be the same.
