These crispy mini pepperoni pizza rolls are a quick, easy, and delicious snack perfect for lunchboxes or a satisfying treat. They feature a golden, crisp crust with melty cheese and a slightly spicy pepperoni filling.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 package (about 13.8 oz / 390 g) store-bought or homemade pizza dough
  • 1 cup (about 30 g) mini pepperoni slices
  • 1 ½ cups (about 150 g) shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ¼ cup (about 25 g) grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • ½ cup (about 120 ml) marinara sauce for dipping

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine shredded mozzarella, grated Parmesan, mini pepperoni slices, Italian seasoning, and garlic powder. Mix until evenly blended.
  3. Lightly flour your work surface and roll the pizza dough into a roughly 12×10 inch (30×25 cm) rectangle.
  4. Evenly spread the cheese-pepperoni mixture over the dough, leaving about a ½ inch (1.3 cm) border around the edges.
  5. Starting from the long edge, roll the dough into a tight log about 12 inches (30 cm) long.
  6. Use a sharp knife or pizza cutter to slice the log into 1-inch (2.5 cm) pieces, yielding about 12 rolls.
  7. Place the rolls cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet, spaced about 1 inch (2.5 cm) apart.
  8. Brush the tops and edges of each roll lightly with olive oil.
  9. Bake for 15-18 minutes until rolls are puffed, golden brown, and cheese is bubbling. Check after 12 minutes to avoid burning.
  10. Remove from oven and transfer rolls to a cooling rack for 5 minutes to keep bottoms crisp and cheese set.
  11. Serve warm with marinara sauce for dipping.

Notes

If rolls seem doughy inside, roll dough thinner or bake 2 minutes longer. Use freshly shredded cheese for best melt. Brush olive oil for crisp crust. Rotate baking sheet halfway through baking for even cooking. Can be made in air fryer at 375°F (190°C) for 10-12 minutes, shaking halfway.
