Ingredients
1 can of pizza dough
1 cup marinara sauce
6-8 slices of mozzarella cheese
24-30 pepperoni slices
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a muffin tin.
- Prepare Dough: Roll out the pizza dough on a clean, floured surface to an even thickness.
- Slice Dough: Using a pizza cutter, slice the dough into six long strips horizontally.
- Spread Sauce: Lightly spread marinara sauce over each strip of dough. Adjust the amount based on your preference.
- Add Cheese: Cut mozzarella slices to fit the dough strips and place them on top of the marinara sauce.
- Layer Pepperoni: Line the top edge of each dough strip with overlapping pepperoni slices, ensuring they hang halfway off the edge.
- Roll and Shape: Carefully roll each dough strip into a rose shape and place it in a greased muffin tin.
- Bake: Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and cooked through.
- Cool and Serve: Let the pizza roses cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Customizations: Add thinly sliced veggies or substitute pepperoni with turkey or plant-based options for variety.
- Presentation: Garnish with fresh basil or parsley for a decorative touch.
- Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven to maintain crispness.
- Dough Thickness: Avoid overly thick dough to ensure the roses bake evenly.
