Ingredients

• 1 lb pizza dough
• 24 pieces pepperoni slices
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 4 tbsp unsalted butter
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp Italian seasoning
• 2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup marinara sauce (for dipping, optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Lightly flour your work surface and roll out the pizza dough into a large rectangle, approximately 12x14 inches.

Step 3

Spread half of the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over one half of the dough (lengthwise).

Step 4

Place the pepperoni slices on top of the cheese, ensuring even distribution.

Step 5

Fold the plain side of the dough over the side with the cheese and pepperoni to create a sandwich-like fold and lightly press the edges to seal.

Step 6

Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, slice the folded dough into 8 even strips.

Step 7

Twist each strip several times to create a spiral shape and place the twists on the prepared baking sheet, evenly spaced.

Step 8

In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter and stir in garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and grated Parmesan cheese.

Step 9

Brush the seasoned butter mixture generously over each breadtwist.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the breadtwists are golden brown and cooked through.

Step 11

Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving with marinara sauce for dipping, if desired.
