Ingredients

  • 1 tube refrigerated pizza dough
  • 40 slices pepperoni
  • 10 mozzarella cheese sticks
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese
  • Marinara sauce for serving (optional)

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
  • Unroll the pizza dough onto a clean cutting surface. Using a knife or pizza cutter, divide the dough into 10 equal rectangles.
  • Place four slices of pepperoni evenly onto each rectangle of dough. Position one mozzarella cheese stick on top of the pepperoni.
  • Starting from one end, roll the dough tightly around the filling, enclosing the cheese completely. Pinch the seams and ends firmly to seal.
  • In a small bowl, melt the butter and stir in the grated Parmesan cheese.
  • Arrange the rolls seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops evenly with the butter and Parmesan mixture.
  • Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the rolls are puffed and golden brown.
  • Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly. Serve warm with marinara sauce, if desired.

To make this recipe gluten-free, substitute the refrigerated pizza dough with a gluten-free pizza dough that is suitable for baking at high temperatures.
