Pepperoni Pizza Rolls (Printer-Friendly Version)

Golden rolls with pepperoni, ham, mozzarella, and garlic butter offer a savory bite for any occasion.

# What You'll Need:

→ Dough

01 - 12 to 14 ounces refrigerated pizza dough

→ Meats

02 - 30 grams sliced pepperoni
03 - 30 grams deli ham, sliced

→ Cheese

04 - 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

→ Sauce

05 - ½ cup marinara or pizza sauce

→ Garlic Butter

06 - 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
07 - 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
08 - ½ teaspoon garlic powder
09 - ¼ teaspoon salt
10 - ⅛ teaspoon black pepper

→ Dipping Sauce

11 - Marinara or ranch dressing, as desired

# Steps to Follow:

01 - Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Roll out refrigerated pizza dough on a clean surface to a 12 by 10-inch rectangle, approximately ¼ inch thick, leaving edges slightly thicker to aid assembly.
02 - Spread ½ cup marinara or pizza sauce evenly over dough, leaving a ½ inch border around edges.
03 - Distribute pepperoni, ham slices, and shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauced dough, ensuring a thin, even layer to avoid heaviness.
04 - Starting from the long edge, roll dough tightly and pinch seams to seal. Using a serrated knife, slice the roll into 12 equal pieces. Arrange rolls on a baking sheet spaced 2–3 inches apart.
05 - Lightly brush rolls on all sides with garlic butter, reserving some for after baking.
06 - Bake in preheated oven for 15 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
07 - Brush rolls with remaining garlic butter immediately after baking. Serve warm with marinara or ranch dipping sauce.

# Additional Tips:

01 - Avoid overfilling rolls to prevent collapse during baking. Roll dough tightly to maintain shape and prevent butter pooling.
02 - These can be made ahead and refrigerated overnight or frozen for up to 3 months. Bake from frozen, adding a few minutes to the baking time.
