Description

Pepperoni rolls are a warm, cheesy snack made by wrapping pizza dough around slices of pepperoni and mozzarella. Baked until golden and gooey, they’re a crowd-pleasing favorite perfect for parties, lunches, or game day.


Ingredients

  • 1 lb pizza dough (homemade or store-bought)
  • 4 oz pepperoni slices
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 egg (for egg wash)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil or melted butter (optional, for brushing)
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder or Italian seasoning (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Roll out pizza dough on a floured surface into a 1/4-inch thick rectangle.
  3. Cut dough into 8–12 equal-sized strips or squares, depending on desired roll size.
  4. Place 3–4 slices of pepperoni and a sprinkle of mozzarella cheese in the center of each piece.
  5. Roll dough around filling, tucking ends and pinching seams to seal. Place seam-side down on prepared baking sheet.
  6. Brush tops with beaten egg. Optionally, brush with olive oil or butter and sprinkle with garlic powder or Italian seasoning.
  7. Bake for 15–20 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  8. Let cool slightly before serving. Serve plain or with marinara sauce for dipping.

Notes

Use spicy or turkey pepperoni for variation.Add marinara inside for a saucier filling, but seal rolls tightly.Try different cheeses like provolone, cheddar, or pepper jack.Make mini versions for party appetizers or lunchboxes.Freeze baked rolls and reheat in oven or air fryer for quick snacks.
