Ingredients

• 1 lb Pizza dough
• 30 pieces Pepperoni slices
• 2 cups Mozzarella cheese
• 3 tbsp Butter
• 1 tsp Garlic powder
• 1 tsp Dried oregano
• 1 tbsp Grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 tbsp Flour
• 1 cup Marinara sauce (for dipping, optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

Step 2

Lightly dust your work surface with flour. Roll out the pizza dough into a large rectangle, approximately 12x16 inches.

Step 3

Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese evenly over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.

Step 4

Lay the pepperoni slices in a single layer over the cheese, ensuring even coverage.

Step 5

Starting from one of the long edges, carefully roll the dough into a tight log. Pinch the seam to seal the roll and place it seam-side down.

Step 6

Using a sharp knife, slice the roll into 1-inch thick pieces. You should get about 12–16 rolls.

Step 7

Place the rolls cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart.

Step 8

In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter. Stir in the garlic powder, dried oregano, and Parmesan cheese.

Step 9

Brush the butter mixture generously over the tops and sides of the rolls.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 18–20 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and cooked through.

Step 11

Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving.

Step 12

Serve warm with a side of marinara sauce for dipping, if desired.
