Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 package Pre-made pizza dough
- 20 pieces Vegetarian pepperoni slices
- 2 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.25 cups Grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 cups Marinara sauce
- 10 leaves Fresh basil leaves
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Dried oregano
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Flour (for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper.
Dust a clean surface with the flour and roll out the pizza dough into a large rectangle, approximately 12 x 16 inches.
Spread the marinara sauce evenly over the dough, leaving about a 1-inch border around the edges.
Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese evenly over the marinara sauce, followed by the vegetarian pepperoni slices, fresh basil leaves, and a light sprinkle of oregano and garlic powder.
Starting at one of the long edges, tightly roll the dough into a log, ensuring the filling stays inside. Pinch the seam to seal it.
Using a sharp knife, carefully slice the log into 8 equal pieces. Place the slices cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet.
Brush the tops of the twisters with olive oil and sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and the cheese is bubbling.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving. Pair with additional marinara sauce for dipping, if desired.
