1 1/2 teaspoons olive oil
1 (13.8-ounce) tube refrigerated pizza crust
1 (5-ounce) package pepperoni minis or cooked Italian sausage
1 (8-ounce) package shredded Pizzeria cheese or mozzarella cheese
1 tablespoon Italian spice blend
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 egg beaten with 1 teaspoon water
Sesame seeds
Marinara sauce for serving
Preheat oven to 400°F. Brush a jelly roll pan with olive oil.
Unroll pizza crust onto the prepared pan, patting with fingers until dough covers bottom of pan.
Scatter pepperoni over the dough. Sprinkle with mozzarella cheese. Pinch Italian seasoning as you sprinkle it over the cheese. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese over all.
Starting at a long side, roll up the dough jelly roll fashion and turn seam side down on jelly roll pan. Brush roll with egg and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
Bake in preheated 400-degree oven until golden, about 15 to 20 minutes.
Slice and serve warm with marinara sauce for dipping. 20 to 24 slices.
Tips from the cook
Pizzeria cheese is a blend of mozzarella and provolone cheeses. I found it at my local grocery store.
These Pizza Rolls make a wonderful snack anytime. Serve them for lunch or a light evening meal with a green salad and some fresh fruit.
