A delicious and easy-to-make cheesy pepperoni roll that's perfect for any occasion.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.
Using parchment paper prevents sticking and makes cleanup easier.
Roll out the pizza dough into a large rectangle on a floured surface.
Ensure the dough is evenly rolled out to avoid uneven cooking.
In a mixing bowl, combine the oregano, parsley, garlic powder, and black pepper.
Mixing the spices beforehand ensures even distribution of flavors.
Sprinkle the seasoning mixture evenly over the rolled-out dough.
Spread the seasoning evenly to ensure every bite is flavorful.
Layer the shredded mozzarella cheese and sliced pepperoni over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
Don't overfill to prevent the roll from bursting during baking.
Carefully roll the dough into a log, starting from one of the longer sides. Pinch the edges to seal.
Roll tightly but gently to keep the fillings intact.
Place the roll seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the top with egg white.
Brushing with egg white gives the roll a shiny, golden finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
Check the roll halfway through baking to ensure even browning.
Let the roll cool for a few minutes before slicing into portions. Serve with marinara sauce for dipping.
Allowing the roll to cool slightly makes slicing easier and prevents burns.
