🍕 Homemade Cheesy Pizza Rolls

Ingredients
For the Dough
2½ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon instant yeast
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon salt
¾ cup warm water
2 tablespoons olive oil
For the Filling
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
½ cup pizza sauce
½ cup sliced pepperoni, chopped
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
½ teaspoon garlic powder
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
For the Topping
1 tablespoon melted butter
½ teaspoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon grated Parmesan
Fresh parsley, optional
👩‍🍳 Instructions
Make the dough: In a large bowl, combine the flour, instant yeast, sugar, and salt. Add the warm water and olive oil. Mix until a soft dough forms.
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5–7 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover, and let it rest in a warm place for about 45–60 minutes, or until slightly puffy.
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Roll the dough into a thin rectangle.
Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
Sprinkle the mozzarella, cheddar, chopped pepperoni, Parmesan, Italian seasoning, and garlic powder evenly over the sauce.
Carefully roll the dough tightly into a log, starting from one long side.
Cut the log into individual rolls, about 1½ inches thick.
Place the rolls cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between them.
Mix the melted butter with garlic powder and brush it over the tops. Sprinkle with Parmesan.
Bake for 15–20 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Let them cool for a few minutes, then garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
Serve warm with extra pizza sauce or marinara sauce for dipping. 🍕🧀
