Ingredients

Dough and Base

1 container refrigerated pizza dough Ensure it is at room temperature before rolling.
2 tablespoons olive oil For brushing the dough.
2 cloves garlic, minced Add more for stronger flavor if desired.
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning Can substitute with Italian herb mix.

Cheeses and Toppings

1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded Gooey and melty, essential for pizza.
½ cup shredded Parmesan cheese Adds sharpness.
5 ounces mini pepperonis Can substitute with regular pepperoni slices.
¼ cup pickled jalapeños, diced For added spice.
to taste Marinara sauce for dipping Optional, serve on the side.

Method

Preparation

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and lightly spray a baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray. Set it aside.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the refrigerated pizza dough into a large rectangle.
In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, and Italian seasoning. Mix well.

Assembly

Use a pastry brush to spread the garlic oil mixture generously over the surface of the dough.
Evenly sprinkle the mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses, mini pepperonis, and diced jalapeños over the crust, leaving about a half-inch border around the edges.
Starting from one end, gently roll the dough into a tight log.
Using a serrated knife, slice the log into 1-inch pieces.

Baking

Arrange the rolls on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes or until they are golden brown.

Serving

Enjoy immediately with marinara sauce for dipping.

Notes

Storing leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. Reheating at 350°F for 5-7 minutes is recommended.
