Ingredients

Scale

1 lb pizza dough
6 oz thick-cut pepperoni slices
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1 tsp Italian seasoning
2 tbsp olive oil (for brushing)
1/2 cup marinara sauce (for dipping)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface into a rectangle about half an inch thick.
Spread shredded mozzarella evenly over the dough and layer with pepperoni slices.
Sprinkle Italian seasoning over the filling.
Starting from one long edge, roll the dough tightly into a log shape and pinch the ends closed.
Slice the roll into pieces (about 2 inches wide) and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Brush olive oil on top of each roll for a golden finish and bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
Serve warm with marinara sauce for dipping.
