Pepperoni Pizza Roll Breadsticks (Printer-friendly)

Cheesy breadsticks stuffed with pepperoni and mozzarella, rolled up for a fun pizza twist.

# What You'll Need:

01 - 1 lb refrigerated pizza dough, store-bought or homemade

02 - All-purpose flour, for dusting work surface

03 - 20 slices pepperoni

04 - 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

05 - 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

06 - 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted

07 - 1/2 tsp garlic powder

08 - 1 tsp Italian seasoning

09 - 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley

10 - 1 cup marinara sauce, warmed

01 - Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

02 - Lightly dust a work surface with flour. Roll the pizza dough into a 10x14-inch rectangle.

03 - Sprinkle mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses evenly over the dough, leaving a 1/2-inch border. Arrange pepperoni slices on top of the cheese.

04 - Starting from the long edge, roll the dough up tightly into a log. Pinch the seam firmly to seal.

05 - Using a sharp knife, cut the log into 8 equal pieces.

06 - Place each piece cut side up on the prepared baking sheet with space between them.

07 - In a small bowl, combine melted butter, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Brush generously over the tops and sides of each roll.

08 - Bake for 16 to 20 minutes until golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.

09 - Remove from oven and sprinkle with fresh parsley. Serve warm with marinara sauce for dipping.

01 -

They come together in about 40 minutes flat with zero fancy skills needed
The rolled shape traps all that melted cheese inside so nothing leaks out onto the pan

02 -

Let the dough sit on the counter for about 15 minutes before rolling if it feels stiff and resistant
Cutting the log with a gentle sawing motion keeps the filling from squishing out the sides

03 -

Sprinkle a tiny bit of cornmeal on the parchment for an extra crispy bottom crust
A light dusting of red pepper flakes in the filling transforms these into something you cannot stop eating
