Ingredients

Scale

1 lb pizza dough
6 oz pepperoni slices
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 tsp Italian seasoning
2 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick.
Evenly sprinkle mozzarella cheese over the dough, leaving edges clear. Layer pepperoni on top, followed by Italian seasoning and Parmesan.
Tightly roll the dough from one edge to the other, sealing the seams.
Place on a greased baking sheet. Brush with olive oil and cut slits into the top for steam escape.
Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and fragrant.
Let cool slightly before slicing and serve warm with marinara sauce.
