# 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.
