  • Gently roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface until it forms a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick.
  • Spread a generous layer of pizza sauce over the dough, then sprinkle it with shredded mozzarella and place pepperoni slices evenly across the surface. Finish with a sprinkle of Italian seasoning.
  • Starting from one long side, roll the dough tightly into a log.
  • Using a sharp knife, cut your rolled dough into approximately 1-inch thick rounds.
  • Place the cut sides of the dough rounds up into a greased muffin tin.
  • Pop your muffin tin into the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes until they are golden brown and bubbly.
