Time 35m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 (13.8 ounce) package Pillsbury® classic pizza crust
1 cup marinara sauce, divided
½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
¼ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
½ cup thinly sliced pepperoni, cut in halves
2 tablespoons minced onion
½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
½ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes

Steps:

  • Place pizza dough on a lightly floured work surface, and press into a rectangle. Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce on the dough to within 1/2 inch of the crust edges (you will not need all of the sauce), and top with mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses.
  • Evenly distribute pepperoni and onion over the cheeses, and sprinkle with Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes.
  • Tightly roll up the dough to form a log, pinching the seam together to seal. Transfer dough to the refrigerator for 10 minutes to make slicing easier.
  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Using a serrated knife, slice the log into 12 individual rolls and set onto the prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until pizza rolls are golden brown in color and the cheese has melted, 10 to 12 minutes.
  • Serve pizza rolls with the remaining warmed marinara as a dipping sauce.

Categories     Meat Appetizers

Time 1h25m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 pkg frozen bread dough
1 pkg pepperoni
1 pkg mozzarella cheese
1 parmesan cheese
1 olive oil
1 italian seasoning
1/4 c tomato sauce, optional
8 slice bacon
1 small onion diced finely

Steps:

  • 1. Loosely cover the frozen bread dough with plastic wrap. Allow the dough to thaw for a few hours at room temperature. When the dough is completely thawed it will be slightly puffed up. Here's a tip: Spray the plastic wrap with cooking oil, or brush it with cooking oil and lay it, oiled side down on the bread dough. This allows the bread dough to rise and move easily under the plastic wrap without it sticking or holding back the dough. Cook and crumble bacon. Roll dough out to an approximately 11 x 11 inch square. One frozen dough log makes one pepperoni roll. Brush dough with olive oil or whatever cooking oil you prefer. Lay pepperoni on the dough covering entire surface. Sprinkle with shredded mozzarella cheese. Next, sprinkle it with shredded Parmesan cheese and lightly sprinkle it with Italian seasoning. Add a sprinkling of garlic salt (optional).and add crumbled bacon and finely diced onion if so desired. Roll up the dough starting at one edge of the square. Place rolls on baking sheet, leaving space between them if you are making more than one roll. Brush some melted butter on top of the uncooked pepperoni roll(s).
  • 2. Bake at 375 degrees F for approximately 15 to 25 minutes. Oven temperatures and times may vary. When done, the top of the rolls should be golden brown and you should be able to make a tapping sound on the crust with your fingernail (the same as when baking bread). Make sure you allow your pepperoni roll to cool completely before slicing and serving it.
