Ingredients

• 3 cups All-purpose flour
• 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
• 1 tablespoon Sugar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Warm water
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 0.5 cup Pizza sauce
• 1 cup Mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 20 slices Pepperoni slices
• 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 item Egg, beaten (optional, for brushing)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, instant yeast, sugar, and salt.

Step 2

Add the warm water and 2 tablespoons of olive oil to the dry ingredients, and mix until a dough forms.

Step 3

Knead the dough on a floured surface for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Alternatively, use a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook for 5-6 minutes.

Step 4

Place the dough into an oiled bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Punch down the dough and roll it out on a floured surface into a large rectangle, approximately 12x16 inches.

Step 7

Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the surface of the dough, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.

Step 8

Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce and evenly distribute the pepperoni slices on top.

Step 9

Starting from the longer edge, carefully roll the dough into a tight log. Pinch the seam and ends to seal.

Step 10

Using a sharp knife, cut the log into 12 equal slices. Place the slices cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 11

Optional: Brush the tops of the rolls with the beaten egg for a golden finish.

Step 12

In a small bowl, mix the Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Sprinkle this mixture over the rolls.

Step 13

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.

Step 14

Allow the rolls to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm as a snack or appetizer!
