Perfect as quick snacks, party appetizers, or fun lunchbox treats, these scrolls combine bold flavors and textures effortlessly with easy steps and minimal ingredients.

Ingredients

Scale

Base

  • 1 portion pizza dough (homemade or store-bought)

Filling

  • 1/2 cup tomato pizza sauce
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 20–25 slices pepperoni
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning (oregano, basil, garlic powder)

Finishing

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (for brushing)
  • 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Dough: Lightly flour your work surface and roll out the pizza dough into a large rectangle about 10 by 15 inches, making sure it’s evenly thin.
  2. Spread the Sauce: Evenly spread a generous layer of tomato pizza sauce over the rolled dough, leaving a small border around the edges to seal the scrolls later.
  3. Add Cheese and Pepperoni: Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese across the sauce, then layer pepperoni slices evenly so every bite has that savory punch.
  4. Roll It Up: Starting at one of the long edges, carefully roll the dough into a tight log, making sure it’s even to prevent uneven cooking.
  5. Slice and Arrange: Using a sharp knife, cut the roll into about 1-inch thick slices and place them cut-side up on a parchment-lined baking tray, spaced slightly apart.
  6. Add Finishing Touches: Brush the tops of the scrolls with olive oil, sprinkle Italian seasoning and optional Parmesan cheese for an extra layer of flavor and golden finish.
  7. Bake to Perfection: Bake the scrolls in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes until the dough is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Notes

  • Use cold dough for easier rolling to maintain structure and prevent tearing.
  • Don’t overload with filling to avoid soggy scrolls or difficulty rolling.
  • Use a sharp or serrated knife for clean slices without squishing the dough.
  • Space scrolls apart on the tray to allow even cooking and crispiness on all sides.
  • Brush with olive oil before baking to achieve a golden, crisp crust and prevent drying out.
