Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Dough and Sauce
  • 2 cups pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1/2 cup tomato sauce use your favorite brand or a simple homemade version
Fillings
  • 1.5 cups shredded mozzarella cheese or a Halal-friendly alternative
  • 1 cup pepperoni slices substitute with turkey pepperoni or veggie options
Additional Ingredients
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil for brushing
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning for added flavor

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. On a lightly floured surface, roll out your pizza dough into a large rectangle, about ¼ inch thick.
  3. Spread an even layer of tomato sauce over the dough, leaving a small border along the edges.
  4. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce, followed by a generous layer of pepperoni slices.
  5. Starting from one end, carefully roll the dough into a tight log and seal the edges well.
  6. Using a sharp knife, slice the rolled dough into bite-sized pieces, about 1 to 2 inches thick.
  7. Place the rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, ensuring they have enough space to expand.
  8. Lightly brush the tops of the rolls with olive oil and sprinkle with Italian seasoning.
Baking
  1. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
  2. Once baked, remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
  3. Serve hot, paired with extra tomato sauce for dipping.

Notes

For perfecting your rolls, consider using store-bought dough for convenience or experimenting with various fillings like bell peppers or olives. Avoid cheesy spills by ensuring the edges are sealed well.
