Ingredients
  

Dough & Filling
  • 1 lb pizza dough store-bought or homemade
  • 0.5 cup pizza sauce plus more for serving
  • 2 cups mozzarella cheese shredded, low-moisture part-skim
  • 6 oz pepperoni sliced
Topping
  • 1 egg beaten with 1 tbsp water for egg wash
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 0.5 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp dried Italian seasoning or oregano
  • 2 tbsp Parmesan cheese grated
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley chopped, optional for garnish

Equipment

  • Baking sheet
  • Rolling pin
  • Parchment paper
  • Pastry brush

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a 10x14 inch rectangle.
  3. Spread pizza sauce over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border.
  4. Sprinkle half of the mozzarella, then layer the pepperoni, and top with remaining mozzarella.
  5. Roll up the dough starting from a long side, like a jelly roll. Pinch seams and ends tightly to seal.
  6. Place seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Cut 3-4 small slits in the top for steam vents.
  7. Brush with egg wash. Mix olive oil, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning, then brush over the dough. Sprinkle with Parmesan.
  8. Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown. Let rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

Notes

For a vegetarian version, replace pepperoni with sautéed vegetables like bell peppers, onions, and mushrooms. Ensure vegetables are not watery.
