Equipment

  • 1 Rolling Pin For rolling out the pizza dough.
  • 1 Baking sheet Optional, for placing the muffin tin on.

Ingredients
  

Dough

  • 1 package pizza dough Store-bought or homemade.

Cheese and Toppings

  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese For the cheesy filling.
  • 1 cup sliced turkey pepperoni For added flavor.
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning Optional, for extra flavor.

Dipping Sauce

  • to taste Marinara sauce For dipping.
  • as needed Cooking spray or olive oil For greasing the muffin tin.

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven

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

Prepare the Dough

  • Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface until it’s about ¼ inch thick. This ensures your roses will have a nice, even texture.

Add Ingredients

  • Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the dough, followed by the pepperoni slices. Additionally, you can add Italian seasoning for extra flavor.

Cut and Roll

  • Cut the dough into strips about 2 inches wide. Then, roll each strip tightly to form a rose shape. This is where the fun begins!

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.
