Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 cups pizza dough Store-bought or homemade; should be cool and slightly relaxed.
  • 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded Provides a classic stretchy, melty texture.
  • 1/2 cup pepperoni slices Adds salty and slightly spicy flavor.
  • 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, grated Offers sharpness and savory punch.
  • 1 large egg (for egg wash) Gives a shiny, golden finish.
  • 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning Adds a herby lift that's unmistakably 'pizza'.
  • 1/2 cup marinara sauce (for dipping) Keeps the eating experience fun.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly flour your work surface.
  2. Gather all ingredients and set up an assembly line.
Assembly
  1. Roll out the pizza dough on the floured surface and cut it into squares.
  2. Place a slice of mozzarella cheese and a few pepperoni slices in the center of each square.
  3. Sprinkle some Parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning on top.
  4. Fold the dough over the filling to form a pocket and seal the edges.
  5. Brush the tops with beaten egg.
Baking
  1. Place the rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  2. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
  3. Serve warm with marinara sauce for dipping.

Notes

For best results, ensure to seal the edges well to prevent the filling from escaping during baking. You can double or triple the recipe for larger gatherings.
