Ingredients
1 package pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
1/2 cup pizza sauce
1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup pepperoni slices (optional)
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 tablespoon fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Prepare the dough: Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface into a rectangle, about 1/4-inch thick.
Assemble the rolls: Spread a thin layer of pizza sauce over the dough, leaving about 1-inch at the edges. Evenly sprinkle the mozzarella cheese over the sauce. Add pepperoni slices if desired, and then sprinkle Parmesan cheese, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper.
Roll the dough: Starting from one end, carefully roll the dough into a tight log, sealing the edge with a pinch to keep everything inside.
Slice the rolls: Using a sharp knife, slice the roll into 1-inch pieces, placing them flat on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake the rolls: Bake the pizza rolls in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and the cheese is bubbling.
Serve: Once baked, remove from the oven, and let them cool for a minute. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired. Serve with extra pizza sauce for dipping.
Enjoy your cheesy, savory pizza roll-ups!
