Pepperoni Pizza Rolls (Ready-to-Print Version)

Golden rolls filled with pepperoni, ham, mozzarella, and a garlicky butter finish.

# What You’ll Need:

→ Dough

01 - 12 to 14 oz store-bought refrigerated pizza dough

→ Meats

02 - Pepperoni slices, quantity as desired
03 - Deli ham slices, quantity as desired

→ Cheese

04 - Shredded mozzarella cheese, quantity as desired

→ Sauces

05 - Marinara or pizza sauce, quantity as needed for spreading and dipping

→ Garlic Butter

06 - Unsalted butter, melted
07 - Italian seasoning
08 - Garlic powder
09 - Salt
10 - Ground black pepper

# Step-by-Step Guide:

01 - Preheat the oven to 400°F. Roll out the refrigerated pizza dough on a clean surface to approximately 12 by 10 inches, maintaining a thickness of about 1/4 inch. Avoid rolling it too thin to prevent difficulty in assembly.
02 - Evenly spread a layer of marinara or pizza sauce over the dough, leaving a 1/2 inch border around the edges.
03 - Layer pepperoni slices, ham, and shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauced dough, ensuring an even and moderate distribution to prevent collapse during baking.
04 - Carefully and tightly roll the dough starting from the long side. Pinch the seams to seal. Using a serrated knife or bench scraper, slice the roll into 12 equal pieces and place them 2 to 3 inches apart on a baking sheet.
05 - Prepare garlic butter by combining melted unsalted butter, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Lightly brush the garlic butter over the tops and sides of the rolls, reserving some for after baking.
06 - Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for approximately 15 minutes or until golden brown.
07 - Immediately after baking, brush the remaining garlic butter over the rolls for enhanced flavor and shine. Serve warm with your choice of dipping sauce, such as marinara or ranch.

# Handy Tips:

01 - Avoid overfilling the rolls to maintain shape and prevent collapse. Roll dough tightly to ensure the rolls hold together during baking.
02 - Make ahead by assembling and refrigerating overnight; add extra baking time if baking chilled.
03 - Freeze baked rolls for up to 3 months; reheat at 350°F for 20–25 minutes, brushing garlic butter before completion.
