Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tube (13.8 oz) refrigerated classic pizza dough or crescent dough sheet
- 1/2 cup marinara sauce or pizza sauce
- 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 24 slices beef turkey turkey pepperoni
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
- Warm marinara sauce (for dipping)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat for easy cleanup.
- On a clean, lightly floured surface, unroll the pizza dough or crescent sheet. Press it out gently with a rolling pin to form a large, even rectangle, approximately 12×9 inches.
- Spread the marinara sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a thin 1/2-inch border around the edges to prevent spilling when rolling.
- Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheese over the sauce, followed by an even layer of beef turkey turkey pepperoni slices.
- Starting from the long edge closest to you, tightly roll the dough up into a log shape. Pinch the seam at the end to seal it closed.
- Using a serrated knife or unflavored dental floss, cut the log into 12 even slices (about 1 inch thick each).
- Place the rolls cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Brush the tops and sides of each roll with this mixture.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and melted.
- Remove from the oven and garnish with fresh chopped parsley. Serve warm with extra marinara sauce for dipping.
Notes
For a vegetarian version, simply omit the beef turkey turkey pepperoni and add finely diced bell peppers or mushrooms. These rolls freeze beautifully; bake them first, let them cool completely, then freeze in an airtight bag for up to 2 months. Reheat in the oven or air fryer for best texture.
