Dough and Sauce
- 1 recipe homemade pizza dough or store-bought
- 2 teaspoons olive oil

- Italian seasoning to taste

- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 60-65 slices pepperoni
- ½ cup yellow cornmeal optional

Instructions
Preparation
- Prepare pizza dough through step 4. When ready, punch down to release air bubbles. Divide into halves and roll out into 10x12 inch rectangles.
- Brush tops lightly with 1 teaspoon olive oil. Push dents into the dough to prevent bubbling. Spread ⅓ cup pizza sauce on each rectangle, sprinkle with Italian seasoning and garlic powder.
- Sprinkle ½ cup shredded mozzarella evenly over sauce, then top with pepperoni. Roll into tight logs, place on a baking sheet seam side down, and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 400°F (204°C) and line baking sheets with mats or parchment paper.
- Remove logs from the refrigerator and cut each into 12 1-inch slices. Dip bottom of each roll into cornmeal and place onto baking sheets, cornmeal side down. Sprinkle with extra cheese if desired.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes until lightly browned. Cool for 5 minutes, serve with basil and extra pizza sauce for dipping.
Notes
Make ahead by chilling rolls and refrigerating. Baked rolls freeze well for up to 3 months.
