Fast-Dough: Oven Baked Pepperoni Rolls

[!NOTE] This is the recipe I usually use This recipe makes a jelly-roll style pepperoni roll, rather than hand rolling each one. It’s faster and the kids seem to like it.

[!NOTE] Needs pre-made dough Either follow the Pizza Dough recipe on this site, find your own Pizza Dough recipe, or just buy premade dough. You can probably find some in the refrigerator/freezer section of the Jewel.

Ingredients

1 batch of Pizza Dough (see separate recipe)
1/2 c. pizza sauce some for the rolls, some extra for dipping (shayne liked Muir Glen canned pizza sauce)
8 oz. pepperoni slices (or more if you like)
1 c. mozzarella cheese shredded (or more if you like)
6 T. parmesan cheese

Dips

Marina
Ranch
Whatever you like

Instructions

Preheat oven to 425°.
Divide dough into 2 equal balls (about 1 lb each). Roll each one out into a rectangle about 12 x 15 inches.
On each rectangle, spread 2-4 tablespoons marinara sauce all the way to the edges.
- You may be tempted to add more sauce. Don’t. It will make a mess, the dough will get soggy, it won’t cook right and you won’t be able to cut it.
Put a layer of pepperoni down on the sauce.
Drizzle with shredded mozzarella cheese.
Roll up each rectangle so that it forms a long roll (like a jelly roll or cinnamon roll).
Pinch the edge of dough together to form a seam.
Carefully cut each roll into 15 slices.
(Optional) Place each slice on a pepperoni piece (the roll will be bigger than the pepperoni, that’s ok). Sprinkle with parmesan cheese.
Brush the rolls with melted butter.
Bake on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper for 12-15 minutes at 425F or until done.
