Ingredients
- 1 can refrigerated pizza dough 🍞
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese 🧀
- 1/2 cup sliced pepperoni 🍕
- 1 tbsp olive oil 🌿
- 1 tsp dried oregano 🌿
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder 🌱
- Salt and pepper to taste 🧂
Instructions
Preheat Oven:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to ensure the rolls don’t stick and make cleanup easier.
Prepare the Dough:
Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface. Once it’s flattened, spread a layer of shredded mozzarella cheese over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges to make sure the cheese stays inside when rolling it up.
Add Pepperoni:
Place the pepperoni slices evenly over the layer of cheese. Distribute them well so each bite has a good amount of pepperoni.
Roll and Slice:
Carefully roll up the dough into a log shape, ensuring the cheese and pepperoni stay inside. Slice the rolled dough into 6-8 equal pieces, depending on your desired size.
Bake the Rolls:
Place the sliced rolls on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with olive oil for a golden, crispy exterior. Sprinkle the rolls with dried oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper for added flavor.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until golden brown and the cheese is bubbling and melted inside.
Serve and Enjoy:
Let the rolls cool slightly before serving to avoid burning your mouth with the hot cheese. Serve warm and enjoy these cheesy, pepperoni-packed treats!
Notes
- Customize the filling: Feel free to add other ingredients like chopped bell peppers, onions, or even a bit of marinara sauce for dipping.
- Ensure even baking: Make sure the rolls are spaced evenly on the baking sheet to allow for even baking and browning.
- Use high-quality cheese: Using high-quality mozzarella will ensure the cheese melts beautifully and gives the rolls a smooth, creamy texture.
- Add more cheese: If you’re a cheese lover, don’t hesitate to add more mozzarella or use a blend of cheeses for a richer flavor.
- Leftover rolls: If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge and reheat them in the oven or microwave.
