Ingredients Needed
- Flour – for rolling out the pizza dough
- Refrigerated pizza dough – I used Pillsbury brand that comes in the tubes, but you could use any raw pizza dough.
- Garlic salt – watching your sodium intake? Use granulated garlic or garlic powder instead.
- Italian seasoning
- Sliced pepperoni – I used sandwich pepperoni only because it’s bigger, but the smaller pizza pepperoni works just as well.
- Mozzarella cheese – you want to use the dry, shredded variety for this dish. Fresh mozzarella has too much moisture and your rolls will be soggy.
- Parmesan cheese – use a good quality Parmesan, not the fake stuff in the plastic shaker bottle.
- Egg – to seal the seam of the roll once it’s rolled.
- Marinara, Spaghetti, or pizza sauce – This can be homemade, jarred, bottled. Use what you have on hand or your family’s favorite.
Steps To Make This Recipe
- Unroll the pizza roll from the tube.
- Sprinkle the dough with garlic salt and Italian seasoning.
- Arrange a layer of pepperoni over the seasonings.
- Layer the cheese over the pepperoni.
- Roll the dough into a log and slice into 1-inch slices.
- Place the slices on a baking sheet and bake.
- Serve warm with marinara or pizza sauce.
