Pepperoni Pizza Rolls

These Homemade Pepperoni Rolls never disappoint. You’ve got soft, pillowy bread wrapped around gooey cheese and spicy pepperoni—what’s not to love? They’re warm, cheesy, and just a little bit greasy in the best way. It’s like biting into a cozy little pizza roll, but way better because you made it yourself. Perfect for snacking, game day, or just because you’re craving something tasty and easy.

How to Make Pepperoni Rolls

This recipe is effortless to make with only five simple ingredients. Open a can of thin crust pizza dough and roll it into a rectangle. Cut the pizza dough into six pieces. Top each piece of dough with a slice of mozzarella cheese and pepperoni slices. Roll up the dough and place seam-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Bake in a preheated oven until golden brown. Stir together melted butter and garlic powder. Brush the top of the rolls with the garlic butter. Sprinkle the baked rolls with Italian seasoning and grated Parmesan cheese, if desired. Serve with warm pizza sauce or marinara sauce.
