Cheesy Pepperoni Pizza Rolls

Ingredients

• 1 package Pillsbury® classic pizza crust , 13.8 ounce
• 1 cup marinara sauce , divided
• 0.5 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
• 0.25 cups freshly grated Parmesan cheese
• 0.5 cups thinly sliced pepperoni , cut in halves
• 2 tablespoons minced onion , Optional
• 0.5 teaspoons Italian seasoning
• 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
• 0.25 teaspoons red pepper flakes , Optional

Instructions

1. 1

   Place pizza dough on a lightly floured work surface, and press into a rectangle. Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce on the dough to within 1/2 inch of the crust edges (you will not need all of the sauce), and top with mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses.

2. 2

   Evenly distribute pepperoni and onion over the cheeses, and sprinkle with Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes.

3. 3

   Tightly roll up the dough to form a log, pinching the seam together to seal. Transfer dough to the refrigerator for 10 minutes to make slicing easier.

4. 4

   Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

5. 5

   Using a serrated knife, slice the log into 12 individual rolls and set onto the prepared baking sheet.

6. 6

   Bake in the preheated oven until pizza rolls are golden brown in color and the cheese has melted, 10 to 12 minutes.

7. 7

   Serve pizza rolls with the remaining warmed marinara as a dipping sauce.
