Ingredients
Scale
Base
1 sheet refrigerated pizza dough
½ cup pizza sauce
Filling
1½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
20–24 slices pepperoni
1 tsp Italian seasoning
Topping (optional)
1 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
Prepare the dough: Roll out the refrigerated pizza dough on a clean, lightly floured surface to an even thickness, creating a rectangular shape suitable for rolling.
Spread sauce: Evenly spread a thin layer of pizza sauce over the entire surface of the dough, ensuring full coverage but not too thick to avoid sogginess.
Add toppings: Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce, layer the pepperoni slices over the cheese, then sprinkle the Italian seasoning uniformly on top.
Roll and slice: Carefully roll the dough tightly into a log shape starting from one edge to the other, then slice the roll into approximately 1-inch thick rounds to create individual roll-ups.
Bake: Place the roll-ups on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or lightly greased. Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F (204°C) for 12 to 14 minutes, or until the roll-ups turn golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Add finishing touches: Once baked, sprinkle the roll-ups with grated Parmesan cheese if using. Serve warm, optionally with extra pizza sauce for dipping.
Notes
For extra crispiness, brush the edges of the dough with olive oil before baking.
Customize fillings by adding other toppings like sliced olives, bell peppers, or cooked sausage.
These roll-ups are great served with marinara sauce or ranch dressing on the side for dipping.
Make sure not to over-stuff the dough to prevent the roll from bursting during baking.
Store leftover roll-ups in an airtight container and reheat in the oven for best results.
