  • Category: Snack/Appetizer
  • Method: Baked
  • Cuisine: Italian-American

Ingredients

  • 1 package refrigerated pizza dough (or crescent roll dough)
  • 12–16 slices pepperoni
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup pizza sauce or marinara sauce, plus extra for dipping
  • Optional: 1/4 cup grated Parmesan, chopped fresh basil or Italian seasoning
  • Optional dipping sauce: extra pizza sauce or garlic butter

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or grease lightly.
  2. Roll dough into a rectangle (~¼-inch thick) on a floured surface.
  3. Spread sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
  4. Sprinkle mozzarella evenly, then arrange pepperoni slices on top.
  5. Add Parmesan and basil or Italian seasoning if using.
  6. Roll dough tightly from the long side into a log.
  7. Slice the log into 12–16 pieces (about 1–1½ inches each) and arrange slice-side down on the baking sheet.
  8. Bake for 12–15 minutes until golden and cheese is melted.
  9. Optional: broil 1–2 minutes for extra crispness—watch closely to prevent burning.
  10. Serve slightly cooled with extra sauce or garlic butter for dipping.

Notes

  • Add thinly sliced bell peppers, mushrooms, or spinach for a veggie boost.
  • Combine pepperoni with salami, cooked sausage, or ham for a meatier version.
  • Mix mozzarella with provolone or cheddar for flavor variety.
  • Sprinkle red pepper flakes or chopped jalapeño inside for a spicy kick.
  • Freeze assembled roll-ups and bake directly from frozen, adding a few minutes to bake time.
