Pepperoni Pizza Roses (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
→ Base
01 -
1 sheet of pizza dough
02 -
Half a cup of pizza sauce
→ Toppings
03 -
1 cup shredded cheese
04 -
Pepperoni slices, about ½ cup
# Instructions:
01 -
Follow the pizza dough instructions to preheat the oven.
02 -
Slice the pizza dough into long strips about 2 inches wide. Flatten them further to around 3 inches for quicker baking.
03 -
Spread some sauce along part of each strip. Lay cheese on top, add overlapping slices of pepperoni, then layer with extra cheese.
04 -
Fold the plain side of the strip over the toppings, then carefully roll the strip to give it a rose-like look.
05 -
Set the little roses on a lined baking tray. You can flare out a few pepperoni slices for a decorative touch if you'd like.
06 -
Bake on the oven's bottom shelf for 12-15 minutes, or until golden. If the pepperoni seems to brown too fast, you can lightly cover it with foil.
# Notes:
01 -
Feel free to throw in extra toppings before rolling the dough.
02 -
Spice up the pizza sauce by adding your favorite seasonings or a splash of hot sauce.
03 -
Serve this with some extra sauce or your favorite dips on the side.
04 -
Let the roses cool down a bit before digging in to avoid burns.
