How to Make Pepperoni Rolls

mozzarella cheese

🥗Healthier: part-skim mozzarella

💰Cheaper: cheddar cheese

Part-skim mozzarella reduces fat while maintaining stretch.

pizza sauce

🥗Healthier: homemade tomato sauce

💰Cheaper: canned tomato sauce

Homemade sauce can be lower in sugar and preservatives.

pepperoni

🥗Healthier: turkey pepperoni

💰Cheaper: salami

Turkey pepperoni has fewer calories and fat.

parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grated pecorino

Nutritional yeast is dairy-free and adds umami flavor.

Get one of the dough balls from the fridge.

Sprinkle a little flour on the surface and flatten the dough out.

Layer pepperoni starting from one edge, overlapping the slices.

Add mozzarella cheese on top of the pepperoni.

Flip the edge of the dough over the first part of the pepperoni.

Roll the dough slowly to keep the filling inside until fully rolled up.

Pinch the seam closed and trim any excess dough from the ends.

Fold the ends of the dough in and push them together to seal.

Make a few slits in the top of the roll to allow air to escape while cooking.

Place the roll on a pizza peel lined with parchment paper.

Preheat the oven to 500°F (260°C).

Cook in the oven for 10 to 12 minutes until browned on top.
