Preheat the Oven
- Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). This step is crucial for achieving that perfect golden crust.

Place in Muffin Tin
- Lightly grease a muffin tin and place each rose into a cup. This helps them hold their shape while baking.
Bake
- Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the dough is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly. Keep an eye on them, as oven times can vary.
Serve
- Allow to cool slightly before serving with marinara sauce for dipping. This adds a delicious touch to your Cheesy Pepperoni Pizza Roses.
