Ingredients
For the Dough:
2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon sugar
1 packet (2 ¼ teaspoons) active dry yeast
¾ cup warm water
1 tablespoon olive oil
For the Filling:
½ cup pizza sauce (plus extra for dipping)
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
½ cup sliced pepperoni
½ cup diced ham
½ cup sliced salami
½ teaspoon dried oregano
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional for spice)
For Topping:
1 tablespoon melted butter
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
Directions
Step 1: Prepare the Dough
In a small bowl, mix warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until foamy.
In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Add the yeast mixture and olive oil. Mix until a dough forms.
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5–7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Step 2: Assemble the Pizza Rolls
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Roll out the dough into a large rectangle (about ¼ inch thick).
Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the dough.
Sprinkle mozzarella and Parmesan cheese over the sauce.
Evenly distribute pepperoni, ham, and salami over the cheese.
Sprinkle oregano, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes for added flavor.
Step 3: Roll and Cut
Carefully roll the dough tightly into a log, starting from the long edge.
Using a sharp knife, slice the log into 1-inch thick rolls.
Place the rolls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart.
Step 4: Bake
Mix the melted butter, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning, then brush it over the rolls.
Bake for 18–22 minutes or until golden brown and bubbly.
Let them cool slightly before serving.
