# What You'll Need:
→ Dough and Base
01 -
450 g refrigerated pizza dough
02 -
All-purpose flour, for dusting
→ Sauce and Cheese
03 -
240 ml marinara or pizza sauce
04 -
200 g shredded mozzarella cheese
05 -
1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
→ Filling and Toppings
06 -
20–25 slices pepperoni
07 -
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
08 -
1 large egg
# How to Make It:
01 -
Set oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 -
Lightly dust the work surface with flour and roll pizza dough into a rectangle of approximately 25 x 35 cm.
03 -
Crack the egg into a small bowl and beat until smoothly combined.
04 -
Spread marinara sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a 2.5 cm border around the edges. Layer shredded mozzarella and arrange pepperoni slices to evenly cover the cheese.
05 -
Starting from the longer side, tightly roll up the dough into a log. Pinch all seams and tuck both ends underneath to seal.
06 -
Transfer to the prepared baking sheet with the seam facing down. Brush the surface with egg wash, then sprinkle evenly with Italian seasoning and Parmesan cheese.
07 -
Bake in the hot oven for 20 to 25 minutes until the exterior is golden and crisp.
08 -
Allow to cool for 5 to 10 minutes after baking, then slice and serve.
# Additional Tips:
01 -
For a vegetarian option, substitute pepperoni with vegetarian sausage or vegetables such as sliced bell peppers or mushrooms.
02 -
Letting the baked roll rest before slicing helps prevent the cheese from oozing out.
03 -
Parmesan cheese is optional and can be omitted for a dairy-free version.
