Ingredients
For the Bread
- 1 lb Pizza Dough Store-bought or homemade
- 6 oz Pepperoni Mini or regular slices
- 2 cups Mozzarella Cheese, shredded For a zing, mix in provolone or cheddar
- 1 tsp Italian Seasoning Fresh or dried
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced For flavor
- 2 tbsp Olive Oil Can use butter for a richer flavor
- ¼ cup Parmesan Cheese, grated For sprinkling on top
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Roll out your pizza dough on a lightly floured surface into a rectangle, about 12×18 inches.
- In a large bowl, combine pepperoni, mozzarella cheese, Italian seasoning, and minced garlic.
- Evenly distribute the filling over the rolled-out dough, leaving a small border to seal the edges.
- Carefully roll the dough from one long side to the other, forming a log. Pinch the seams to seal the filling inside.
- Place the rolled dough seam-side down on a lined baking sheet. Brush the top with olive oil, and sprinkle grated Parmesan over it.
Baking
- Bake in the oven for 25 minutes or until golden brown.
- Allow to cool for 5 minutes, then slice and serve warm.
Notes
For dietary substitutions, use turkey pepperoni and whole wheat dough for a lighter option, or substitute the pepperoni for a mix of fresh veggies or a hearty pesto for vegetarian.
