Ingredients
  

For the Pizza Rolls
  • 13.8 oz Refrigerated Pizza Dough (1 standard tube)
  • 4 oz Pepperoni Slices thinly sliced
  • 1 cup Shredded Mozzarella Cheese part-skim works well
  • 1/4 cup Grated Parmesan Cheese
For the Garlic Herb Butter
  • 3 tbsp Unsalted Butter melted
  • 1 tsp Garlic Powder
  • 1/2 tsp Dried Oregano
  • 1/4 tsp Dried Parsley
  • Pinch Salt to taste
For Serving
  • 1 cup Marinara Sauce warmed, for dipping

Equipment

  • Baking Sheet
  • Parchment Paper
  • Rolling Pin
  • Small Mixing Bowl
  • Pastry Brush
  • Sharp knife or pizza cutter

Method
 

Prepare for Baking
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Assemble the Rolls
  1. Unroll the pizza dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Using a rolling pin, gently roll it into a rectangle approximately 10x14 inches. If using rectangular dough, skip rolling and just stretch slightly.
  2. Arrange the pepperoni slices evenly over the dough, leaving a small border (about 1/2 inch) around the edges. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheese over the pepperoni.
  3. Starting from one of the longer sides, carefully and tightly roll the dough into a log. Pinch the seam closed to seal. Place the log seam-side down.
  4. Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, slice the log into 16 equal pieces, approximately 3/4-inch thick. Arrange the slices cut-side up on the parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving a little space between each one.
Prepare Garlic Herb Butter
  1. In a small mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, garlic powder, dried oregano, dried parsley, and a pinch of salt. Mix well.
  2. Using a pastry brush, liberally brush the tops and sides of each pizza roll breadstick with the garlic herb butter mixture.
Bake and Serve
  1. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and melted. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.
  2. Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving. Warm the marinara sauce if desired. Serve the pizza roll breadsticks warm with marinara for dipping.

Notes

For an extra cheesy crust, sprinkle a little more Parmesan cheese on top of the buttered rolls before baking. To use an air fryer, preheat to 350°F (175°C). Cook in batches, placing a single layer of rolls in the basket, for 6-8 minutes, flipping halfway, or until golden and cooked through. Cooking times may vary by air fryer model.
