Ingredients:

• 1 recipe homemade pizza dough (prepared and ready to use)
• 2 teaspoons olive oil
• ⅔ cup pizza sauce (your favorite brand or homemade)
• Italian seasoning or ground basil, adjusted to your preference
• Garlic powder, to taste
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, plus extra for topping
• 60-65 beef beef pepperoni slices
• ½ cup yellow cornmeal
• Fresh basil, for garnish (optional)

Preparing the Dough and Base

Preheating and Cornmeal Base

Before we dive into rolling and filling, let’s get our oven and baking sheets ready. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This consistent, moderate heat is perfect for ensuring the pizza rolls cook through without burning. Next, take your baking sheets and lightly sprinkle them with the yellow cornmeal. This acts as a natural non-stick surface, and the cornmeal also adds a subtle, pleasant crunch to the bottom of the rolls as they bake, preventing them from sticking and giving them a rustic finish. I find this step really elevates the texture.

Rolling Out the Dough

Now, let’s work with our pizza dough. Lightly flour your work surface. If your homemade pizza dough recipe involved any resting time, ensure it’s completed. Gently punch down the dough to release any air pockets. Roll the dough out into a large rectangle. Aim for a thickness of about ¼ inch. The exact dimensions will depend on your specific dough recipe, but generally, you’re looking for something roughly 12×18 inches. Try to keep the edges as even as possible for uniform rolls. A well-rolled dough base ensures even cooking and makes rolling up the pizza rolls much easier. If the dough springs back, let it rest for a few minutes, covered with a clean kitchen towel, then try rolling again.

Assembling the Pizza Rolls

Sauce and Seasoning Layer

With your dough rectangle laid out, it’s time to add the flavor. Brush the entire surface of the dough evenly with the 2 teaspoons of olive oil. This creates a barrier and helps the sauce adhere better. Next, spread your ⅔ cup of pizza sauce over the olive oil, leaving about a ½-inch border clear along one of the longer edges. This border will be crucial for sealing the rolls. Don’t go too heavy on the sauce, as excess moisture can make the dough soggy. Sprinkle the sauce evenly with your Italian seasoning (or ground basil) and garlic powder to your desired taste. Get creative here; if you love garlic, add a bit more!

CheeseBeef Pepperonieroni Filling

Now for the best part – the filling! Evenly sprinkle the 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauced dough. Make sure to get it close to the edges, but avoid the sauce-free border. The mozzarella will melt and bind the ingredients together. Then, arrange your 6beef pepperoni pepperoni slices in a single layer over the cheese. Try to distribute them as evenly as possible so each roll gets a beef pepperonint of pepperoni. Overlapping them slightly is fine. The goal is a delicious, cheesy, and savory filling that will be enclosed in every bite.

Rolling and Baking

Rolling and Sealing the Dough

Starting from the longer side that is fully covered with sauce and toppings, begin extract to tightly roll up the dough. As you roll, try to keep the roll as compact as possible. This ensures you get nice, tight spirals within each pizza roll. Once you reach the end, the sauce-free border will help seal the roll. You can gently press this edge down to ensure a good seal. This step is important to prevent the filling from oozing out during baking.

Cutting and Baking the Rolls

Once you have your log, it’s time to cut it into individual pizza rolls. Use a sharp knife or a bench scraper to cut the log into approximately 1-inch thick pieces. You should get around 12-15 rolls from this log, depending on how tightly you rolled it. Place the cut rolls cut-side up onto your prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 1-2 inches apart to allow for expansion. If you’d like extra cheesy goodness, sprinkle a little more shredded mozzarella cheese on top of each roll. Place the baking sheets in the preheated oven and bake for 18-22 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and melted. Keep an eye on them during the last few minutes, as ovens can vary.

Finishing Touches

Cooling and Garnishing

Once baked to perfection, carefully remove the pizza rolls from the oven. Let them cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. This allows them to set slightly. For an extra burst of freshness and color, you can garnish the warm pizza rolls with fresh basil leaves. The vibrant green against the golden crust is beautiful, and the herb adds a lovely aromatic note that complements the savory pizza flavors. These are best enjoyed warm, but they also make a fantastic snack when cooled.
