Pepperoni pizza scrolls

Pepperoni pizza scrolls

Pepperoni pizza scrolls are quick, tasty, and cheesy snacks combining the classic flavors of pizza into easy-to-eat, bite-sized scrolls. Made with soft, golden dough, gooey mozzarella, spicy pepperoni, and flavorful tomato sauce, these scrolls are perfect for parties, family snacks, or casual occasions. Customizable and satisfying, they delight both kids and adults alike with melty cheese and zesty toppings.

  • Total Time: 30-35 minutes
  • Yield: 12-16 scrolls

Ingredients

Dough

  • Basic pizza or bread dough (enough to roll out into a large rectangle approximately 1/4-inch thick)

Fillings

  • Tomato sauce (thin layer to spread on dough)
  • Shredded mozzarella cheese (generous amount to cover the dough)
  • Pepperoni slices (evenly spaced over cheese)
  • Italian herbs such as oregano and basil (sprinkled to taste)

Finishing

  • Olive oil (to brush on top before baking)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough: Roll out your pizza or bread dough into a large rectangle on a floured surface, aiming for about 1/4-inch thickness to balance fluffiness and rollability.
  2. Spread the Sauce: Evenly spread a thin layer of tomato sauce across the dough, leaving a small border around the edges to prevent leakage during rolling.
  3. Add Toppings: Scatter shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauced dough, then place pepperoni slices evenly spaced on top. Sprinkle Italian herbs like oregano and basil to enhance flavor.
  4. Roll and Slice: Carefully roll the dough from one long edge to the other, creating a tight log. Use a sharp serrated knife or pizza cutter to cut the roll into individual scrolls about 1 to 1.5 inches thick.
  5. Bake to Perfection: Place the scrolls on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Brush each scroll with olive oil for a golden crust. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 15-20 minutes until the dough is golden and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Notes

  • Use cold dough for easier rolling and better shape retention during slicing.
  • Avoid overloading with sauce or cheese to prevent sogginess and messy slices.
  • A sharp serrated knife or pizza cutter ensures clean, even scrolls.
  • Brushing with olive oil creates a golden, flavorful crust.
  • Let scrolls cool slightly before serving to allow the cheese to set and reduce messiness.
