Delicious twists made with refrigerated pizza dough, pepperoni, mozzarella cheese, and Italian herbs.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tube refrigerated pizza dough (about 13–16 oz)
- ½ cup pizza sauce
- 1½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 20–24 slices pepperoni (chopped)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon dried basil
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Roll out 1 tube refrigerated pizza dough onto a lightly floured cutting board and gently shape into a rectangle.
- Spread ½ cup pizza sauce evenly over half of the dough. Sprinkle 1½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce, then layer 20–24 chopped pepperoni slices on top.
- Fold the plain half of the dough over the filled side and gently press the edges together to help seal.
- Use a pizza cutter to slice into 1-inch strips. Twist each strip two times and place on the prepared baking sheet.
- Brush the tops with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Sprinkle evenly with ½ teaspoon dried oregano, ½ teaspoon dried basil, ¼ teaspoon garlic powder, and 2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese.
- Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until golden brown and bubbly. Serve warm with extra pizza sauce for dipping.
