Pepperoni Pizza Roll Breadsticks (Printable)

Cheesy breadsticks stuffed with pepperoni and mozzarella, rolled up and baked golden.

# What You'll Need:

→ Dough

01 - 1 lb refrigerated pizza dough, store-bought or homemade
02 - All-purpose flour, for dusting

→ Filling

03 - 20 slices pepperoni
04 - 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
05 - 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

→ Topping

06 - 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
07 - 1/2 tsp garlic powder
08 - 1 tsp Italian seasoning
09 - 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley

→ For Serving

10 - 1 cup marinara sauce, warmed

# How To Make It:

01 - Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - Lightly dust a work surface with flour. Roll the pizza dough into a rectangle approximately 10x14 inches.
03 - Sprinkle mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses evenly over the dough, leaving a 1/2-inch border. Arrange pepperoni slices on top of the cheese.
04 - Starting from the long edge, roll the dough up tightly into a log. Pinch the seam firmly to seal.
05 - Using a sharp knife, cut the log into 8 equal pieces.
06 - Place each piece cut side up on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them apart to allow for even baking.
07 - In a small bowl, combine melted butter, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Brush generously over the tops and sides of the rolls.
08 - Bake for 16 to 20 minutes until golden brown and the cheese is bubbling.
09 - Remove from the oven and sprinkle with fresh parsley. Serve warm with marinara sauce for dipping.

# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • The cheese pulls are absolutely ridiculous when you tear one open fresh from the oven
  • They come together faster than ordering delivery and taste way better
02 -
  • Letting the dough sit at room temperature for ten minutes before rolling makes it way easier to work with
  • Cutting with a sawing motion instead of pressing straight down keeps the filling from squishing out
03 -
  • Pat the pepperoni slices with a paper towel first to remove excess oil and prevent soggy bottoms
  • Brushing the inside edge of the dough with a tiny bit of water before sealing guarantees the log stays closed
