1 pound pizza dough, thawed if frozen (or half a homemade pizza dough recipe)
1/2 cup marinara sauce
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
1/8–1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 cup chopped pepperoni (about 35 slices / 4 oz)
1 cup cooked and crumbled Italian sausage (about 1/4 pound)
1/3 cup finely diced green bell pepper
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Minced fresh parsley, for garnish
Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 400°F. Coat a 9-inch cast iron skillet or oven-safe round baking pan with nonstick spray.
Roll out the dough: On a lightly floured surface, roll the pizza dough into a 16×10-inch rectangle.
Add toppings: Brush the dough with marinara sauce, leaving a 1/2-inch border. Sprinkle with 1/2 cup mozzarella, crushed red pepper flakes, chopped pepperoni, crumbled sausage, diced green bell pepper, and grated Parmesan.
Roll the dough: Roll the dough up like a jelly roll from the long side and pinch the seam to seal.
Slice and arrange: Cut the rolled dough into 8 even slices and arrange them cut side down in the skillet, leaving space between each roll.
Bake: Bake for 25 minutes, then top with the remaining 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese. Continue baking for another 5–10 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through.
Garnish and serve: Garnish with minced fresh parsley and serve warm.
For a spicier version, add more crushed red pepper flakes or drizzle with hot sauce.
Use different cheeses like provolone, cheddar, or a blend of Italian cheeses for variety.
Make it meat-free by skipping the pepperoni and sausage, and loading up with vegetables or a plant-based protein.
For a make-ahead option, freeze the pizza rolls before baking and bake directly from the freezer, adding extra cook time.
