No need to grab the frozen bag of mediocre, sausage-filled snacks. Time for something a little more... fantastic! Easy Pepperoni Rolls are golden brown puffs of pizza dough filled with melty, creamy mozzarella and of course, everyone's favorite pizza topping: spicy, succulent pepperoni. Have your marinara ready for dipping, because Easy Pepperoni Rolls are best enjoyed hot!

Ingredients
- flour, to taste, for dusting a cutting board and a rolling pin
- 1 pound prepared pizza dough, homemade or store-bought
- 1/4 pound mozzarella cheese
- 24 slices pepperoni
- water, optional, to taste, for sealing
- marinara sauce, to taste, for dipping
Directions
Step 1 -Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
Step 2 -Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 3 -Dust a cutting board with the flour, then cut the pizza dough into 8 equal portions and form each portion into a small ball.
Step 4 -Let the dough balls sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes (this will make the dough easier to roll out).
Step 5 -Cut the mozzarella into 8 (3-inch-long, 1/4-inch-wide) sticks.
Step 6 -Dust a rolling pin with the flour, then roll each of the dough balls out into a small rectangle.
Step 7 -Add 3 slices of the pepperoni and 1 stick of the mozzarella to the center of each piece of the dough.
Step 8 -Starting with the short sides of the rectangle, fold the dough down over the pepperoni and the cheese.
Step 9 -Fold the long sides of the dough in, pinching the seam tightly so that the dough seals itself. If the dough is not sealing well, use a small amount of the water to help the dough stick together.
Step 10 -Place the rolls on the prepared baking sheet, seam-side down.
Step 11 -Poke 3 holes into the tops of each roll with a toothpick.
Step 12 -Bake until the dough is cooked through and golden on top, about 10 minutes.
Step 13 -Serve the pepperoni rolls with the marinara dipping sauce.
