Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups All-purpose flour
- 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
- 1 tablespoon Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Warm water
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 cup Pizza sauce
- 1 cup Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 20 slices Pepperoni slices
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 item Egg, beaten (optional, for brushing)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, instant yeast, sugar, and salt.
Add the warm water and 2 tablespoons of olive oil to the dry ingredients, and mix until a dough forms.
Knead the dough on a floured surface for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Alternatively, use a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook for 5-6 minutes.
Place the dough into an oiled bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Punch down the dough and roll it out on a floured surface into a large rectangle, approximately 12x16 inches.
Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the surface of the dough, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce and evenly distribute the pepperoni slices on top.
Starting from the longer edge, carefully roll the dough into a tight log. Pinch the seam and ends to seal.
Using a sharp knife, cut the log into 12 equal slices. Place the slices cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet.
Optional: Brush the tops of the rolls with the beaten egg for a golden finish.
In a small bowl, mix the Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Sprinkle this mixture over the rolls.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
Allow the rolls to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm as a snack or appetizer!
