Description
Deliciously comforting pepperoni pizza scrolls, perfect for any gathering or as a snack, featuring warm dough, mozzarella cheese, and spicy pepperoni.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb (450 g) pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
- 1/2 cup (125 g) tomato sauce (pizza sauce or marinara)
- 1 cup (about 113 g) shredded low-moisture mozzarella cheese
- 40 pepperoni slices (about 120 g)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (for brushing)
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning (oregano/basil blend)
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface into a rectangle roughly 12 x 10 inches (30 x 25 cm).
- Spread a layer of tomato sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a 1/2-inch border at the long edge nearest you.
- Sprinkle with mozzarella cheese and arrange pepperoni slices on top in an even layer.
- Roll the dough tightly into a log, starting from the long edge away from you, to form a seam on the bottom.
- Slice the log into 1-inch-thick scrolls using a sharp knife or dental floss for clean cuts.
- Place the scrolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
- Brush the tops with olive oil and sprinkle with Italian seasoning and Parmesan cheese.
- Bake for 20–25 minutes or until the scrolls are puffed and golden brown. Allow to cool slightly before serving.
Notes
For a lower sodium option, choose low-sodium sauce and turkey pepperoni. These scrolls can also be frozen for later use.
