Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons minced onion
• 1 cup marinara sauce, divided
• 1 (13.8 ounce) package Pillsbury® classic pizza crust
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• 0.5 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 0.5 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 0.25 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
• 0.5 cup thinly sliced pepperoni, cut in halves

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Place pizza dough on a lightly floured work surface, and press into a rectangle. Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce on the dough to within 1/2 inch of the crust edges (you will not need all of the sauce), and top with mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses.

Step 3

Evenly distribute pepperoni and onion over the cheeses, and sprinkle with Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes.

Step 4

Tightly roll up the dough to form a log, pinching the seam together to seal. Transfer dough to the refrigerator for 10 minutes to make slicing easier.

Step 5

Using a serrated knife, slice the log into 12 individual rolls and set onto the prepared baking sheet.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven until pizza rolls are golden brown in color and the cheese has melted, 10 to 12 minutes.

Step 7

Serve pizza rolls with the remaining warmed marinara as a dipping sauce.
