Ingredients
Scale
Base
- 1 batch pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
Fillings
- Tomato sauce, enough to spread a thin layer
- 1 to 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 20–25 thin slices pepperoni
- Italian herbs and spices (oregano, basil) to taste
Finishing
- Olive oil for brushing
Instructions
- Prepare the Dough: Roll out your pizza dough on a lightly floured surface into a rectangular shape about ¼ inch thick, creating a smooth base ready for layering.
- Add the Tomato Sauce: Spread a thin, even layer of tomato sauce over the dough, leaving the edges clear to help seal the scrolls later.
- Layer on the Cheese and Pepperoni: Sprinkle generous amounts of shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce, then evenly arrange overlapping pepperoni slices on top, and sprinkle Italian herbs and spices to enhance the flavor.
- Roll It Up and Slice: Starting from one long edge, gently roll the dough into a tight log, ensuring the filling stays inside. Slice the log into even 1.5-inch scrolls using a sharp knife.
- Bake to Golden Perfection: Place the scrolls on a parchment-lined baking tray, brush the tops with olive oil, and bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 15-20 minutes until golden brown and bubbly.
Notes
- Don’t overfill to prevent sogginess and ensure easy rolling.
- If dough feels too sticky, chill for 10 minutes before slicing.
- Use fresh mozzarella for better melting and creamier texture.
- Brush with olive oil for a golden, crispy crust.
- Serve warm for the best melty, gooey experience.
