Notes
Ensure your pizza dough is fresh and pliable; older dough can be tough to roll. Don't overfill the dough! Too much sauce or pepperoni will cause the rolls to burst open during baking. Tightly rolling the dough is crucial for holding the filling and creating neat slices. If you prefer a crispier base, bake the rolls directly on a pizza stone. For extra flavor, brush the rolls with melted garlic butter instead of plain olive oil before baking and experiment with different cheeses like provolone or cheddar to customize the flavor to your liking. Finally, let the rolls cool for a few minutes before serving to prevent burning your mouth. Serve them with marinara sauce, ranch or pesto.
