Instructions

1. Preheat and Prepare the Dough

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Lightly flour a clean surface and roll out the pizza dough into a rectangle.

2. Add the Fillings

Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce over the dough, leaving a small border.
Evenly sprinkle mozzarella cheese and mini pepperoni (or other toppings) over the sauce.
Sprinkle garlic powder and Italian seasoning for extra flavor.

3. Roll and Cut

Carefully roll the dough into a log shape (like a jelly roll).
Use a sharp knife or pizza cutter to slice into bite-sized pieces (about 1-inch thick).

4. Arrange and Bake

Place the rolls on a lined baking sheet, ensuring they are slightly apart.
Brush the tops with olive oil and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and oregano.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.

5. Serve and Enjoy!

Let the pizza rolls cool slightly before serving.
Serve with extra marinara sauce, ranch, or garlic butter dip on the side.

Notes

Don’t Overfill: Too much sauce or cheese can cause the rolls to burst while baking.
Seal the Edges: Lightly pinch the edges before baking to prevent leaks.
Use an Air Fryer: For extra crispiness, cook at 350°F (175°C) for 8-10 minutes.
Customize the Fillings: Try different cheeses, veggies, or even a BBQ chicken version!
Make Ahead & Freeze: Assemble the rolls and freeze before baking for a quick snack anytime.
