Here's what you'll need to whip up a batch: 1 can of refrigerated pizza dough (usually 13.8 oz) 8 oz of cream cheese (softened) 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese 1/2 cup of pepperoni slices (cut into smaller pieces) 1 teaspoon of Italian seasoning 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder 1/4 cup of marinara sauce (for dipping, optional) 1 tablespoon of melted butter (for brushing) Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking sheet. Roll out the pizza dough on a flat surface, keeping it in a rectangle shape. In a small bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, mozzarella cheese, Italian seasoning, and garlic powder. Spread this creamy, cheesy mixture evenly over the pizza dough. Now, sprinkle the pepperoni pieces on top of the cream cheese layer. Gently roll the dough from one end to the other, creating a log shape. Slice the log into about 1-inch pieces and place each roll on the baking sheet. Brush them with melted butter for an extra golden crust.
