Ingredients

• ¼ cup olive oil
• nonstick cooking spray
• ¼ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 (8 ounce) package sliced mozzarella cheese
• 1 (13.8 ounce) can refrigerated pizza dough (such as Pillsbury®)
• 1 cup pizza sauce or marinara sauce
• 6 large slices deli pepperoni
• 10 thin small slices pepperoni
• 1 small bunch fresh parsley, stem removed and finely chopped

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes.

Step 2

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray two cake pans with nonstick cooking spray.

Step 3

Roll out pizza dough on a lightly floured cutting board. Flatten out into a rectangle.

Step 4

Brush surface of the pizza dough with as much pizza sauce as you like.

Step 5

Cover dough with alternating slices of large pepperoni and mozzarella slices. Dot with small pepperoni slices.

Step 6

Starting at the long side, roll up the dough carefully into a jelly roll, making sure the filling stays in and pinch closed along the side. Slice into 1/2-inch rounds and place them inside the cake pans flat. Tuck the ends around as necessary and sprinkle Parmesan cheese over each slice.

Step 7

Stir together olive oil, parsley, and garlic in a shallow bowl. Brush warm pizza rolls with garlic oil.
