Ingredients:

• 1 recipe homemade pizza dough
• 2 teaspoons olive oil
• ⅔ cup pizza sauce (homemade or store-bought)
• Italian seasoning or ground basil, to taste
• Garlic powder, to taste
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 60-65 beef beef pepperoni slices
• ½ cup yellow cornmeal
• Extra mozzarella cheese, for topping
• Fresh basil, for garnish

Preparing the Dough and Filling

Step 1: Rolling Out the Dough

Begin extract by preparing your homemade pizza dough according to your preferred recipe. Once the dough has had a chance to rise and is ready for shaping, lightly flour your work surface. Place the dough onto the floured surface and gently press it down to form a rough rectangle. Using a rolling pin, carefully roll out the dough into a large, thin rectangle. Aim for a size of approximately 12×18 inches, or whatever size allows you to achieve a relatively thin, even layer of dough. The key here is to get it thin enough so that the rolls cook through properly, but not so thin that it tears easily. Once you have your desired rectangle, brush the entire surface evenly with the 2 teaspoons of olive oil. This olive oil will help to seal the sauce and cheese and add a lovely subtle richness to the crust of your pizza rolls.

Step 2: Spreading the Sauce and Seasoning

Now, it’s time to add the flavor foundation. Spread the ⅔ cup of pizza sauce evenly over the olive oil-brushed dough, leaving about a ½-inch border along one of the long edges. This border will be crucial for sealing the rolls later. Be generous with the sauce, but avoid overloading it, as too much sauce can make the rolls soggy. Next, sprinkle the Italian seasoning or ground basil and the garlic powder over the sauce. Use your best judgment for “to taste” – a good starting point is about ½ teaspoon of Italian seasoning and ¼ teaspoon of garlic powder, but feel free to adjust based on your preferences. This seasoning adds that classic pizza flavor that we all love.

Step 3: Layering the CheeseBeef Pepperonieroni

With the sauce and seasonings in place, it’s time for the stars of the show: cbeef pepperoni pepperoni! Sprinkle the 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauced dough, right up to the edge of the sauce, but not over the clean border. This cheese will melt and bind everything together beautifully. Now, arrange beef pepperoni beef pepperoni slices in a single, even layer over the mozzarella. Try to cover as much of the surface as possible without significant overlap. This ensures that each pizza roll gebeef pepperoni amount of pepperbeef pepperoniess. Having the pepperoni in a single layer also helps with rolling and prevents the rolls from becoming too bulky.

Rolling and Baking the Pizza Rolls

Step 4: Rolling and Cutting the Pizza Rolls

This is where the magic happens! Starting from the long edge that is covered in sauce and toppings, carefully and tigin extractly begin to roll up the dough, just like you would a jelly roll. Use your fingers to tuck in the edge as you go, ensuring a snug roll. Continue rolling until you reach the clean ½-inch border. Moisten this border slightly with a little water using your fingertip – this acts as a “glue” to seal the roll completely. Once you have your long, tightly rolled log, pinch the seam firmly to secure it. Now, using a sharp knife, slice the log into individual pizza rolls, about 1 inch thick. You should aim for approximately 15-18 rolls from this log.

Step 5: Preparing for Baking

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). While the oven heats, prepare your baking sheets. Lightly grease two baking sheets or line them with parchment paper. Sprinkle the ½ cup of yellow cornmeal evenly over the prepared baking sheets. The cornmeal creates a wonderful crispy bottom for the pizza rolls and prevents them from sticking. Carefully place the cut pizza rolls onto the cornmeal-dusted baking sheets, ensuring they have a little space between them to allow for expansion during baking. For an extra cheesy finish, sprinkle a little extra mozzarella cheese over the top of each pizza roll. This will melt into a delicious, golden topping.

Step 6: Baking to Golden PerfectioBeef Pepperonike the Homemade Beef Pepperoni Pizza Rolls in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown and puffed up. The exact baking time will depend on your oven and how thick you cut your rolls. Keep an eye on them during the last few minutes of baking to prevent burning. Once they are beautifully golden and the cheese is bubbly and melted, carefully remove the baking sheets from the oven. For an optional but highly recommended final touch, sprinkle some fresh basil leaves over the hot pizza rolls. The aroma and fresh flavor of the basil complement the rich, savory pizza rolls perfectly. Let them cool for a few minutes before serving, as they will be very hot.
