For a crispier bottom, place the rolls directly on the baking sheet without parchment paper. Experiment with different cheeses! Provolone, cheddar, or a blend of Italian cheeses would all be delicious. Add a pinch of sugar to the marinara sauce to balance the acidity. Brush the tops of the rolls with melted butter or olive oil before baking for extra flavor and browning.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
5 mins
On a lightly floured surface, gently unroll the pizza dough and stretch or roll it into a rectangle approximately 12x16 inches. Spread a thin, even layer of marinara sauce over the dough, leaving a ½-inch border along the edges. (5 minutes)
02
Step
5 mins
Sprinkle the mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses evenly over the sauced dough. Distribute the pepperoni and minced onion over the cheese. Season generously with Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes. (5 minutes)
03
Step
10 mins
Starting from one long end, tightly roll the dough into a log, pinching the seam to seal it securely. Wrap the log in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 10 minutes to firm up, making it easier to slice. (10 minutes + chilling)
04
Step
2 mins
Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup. (2 minutes)
05
Step
5 mins
Using a serrated knife, carefully slice the chilled log into 12 individual rolls, each about 1-inch thick. Place the rolls onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart. (5 minutes)
06
Step
12 mins
Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the pizza rolls are beautifully golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly. (10-12 minutes)
07
Step
5 mins
While the rolls are baking, warm the remaining marinara sauce in a small saucepan or microwave. Serve the warm pizza rolls immediately with the warmed marinara sauce for dipping. (5 minutes)
