# How To Make It:
01 - Preheat your oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a 12x8-inch rectangle.
03 - Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a 1/2-inch border.
04 - Sprinkle mozzarella and cheddar cheeses evenly over the sauce. Top with chopped beef pepperoni, oregano, and garlic powder.
05 - Starting from a long edge, tightly roll up the dough into a log. Pinch the seam to seal.
06 - Slice the log into 16 equal pieces and arrange them cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet.
07 - Brush the tops with olive oil and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning.
08 - Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown and bubbling.
09 - Let cool slightly, then serve warm with extra pizza sauce for dipping.
# Expert Advice:
01 -
- These are everything you love about pizza but in an adorable, poppable format that demands zero plates or forks
- The beef pepperoni gets perfectly crispy in the oven while staying tender inside each roll
02 -
- Work quickly once you roll out the dough because if it gets too warm and sticky, it becomes impossible to handle neatly
- Use your sharpest knife to slice the log and saw gently instead of pressing down to keep the rolls round and beautiful
03 -
- If your dough keeps shrinking back while rolling, let it rest for 5 minutes and try again
- Room temperature cheese melts more evenly than cold cheese straight from the fridge
