Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 can (13.8 oz) Refrigerated pizza dough Room temperature, rolled into a rectangle
- 1 cup Marinara or pizza sauce Plus extra for dipping, room temperature or warmed slightly
- 1.5 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese Freshly shredded for best melt and texture
- 20-30 slices Pepperoni Regular or mini, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven according to the pizza dough package instructions (typically 400–425°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- Lightly flour your work surface. Unroll or roll the pizza dough into a rectangle roughly 10×12 inches, using a rolling pin to even thickness. Dust off excess flour.
- Spread the marinara sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a 1/2-inch border along the top edge to seal the roll. Use the back of a spoon to create a thin, even layer.
- Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella evenly across the sauce layer, ensuring it reaches close to the edges.
- Arrange pepperoni slices evenly on top of the cheese, slightly overlapping if needed.
- Starting from the bottom, roll the dough into a tight log. Seal the top border by pinching the edge.
- If desired, chill the log in the fridge for 10–15 minutes for cleaner slices. Otherwise, slice the roll into 1- to 1 1/4-inch pieces.
- Place the pieces cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet, spaced about 1 inch apart. Brush tops lightly with a beaten egg or olive oil.
- Bake according to the pizza dough package instructions—usually about 15–20 minutes—until golden brown and cheese is bubbly. Serve warm with extra marinara sauce for dipping.
