- 1 pound pizza dough
- 1 cup pizza sauce
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup pepperoni slices (or your choice of toppings)
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- Olive oil, for brushing
- Fresh basil leaves, for garnish (optional)
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

- Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce.
- Place pepperoni slices (or other toppings) along the edge of each dough strip, slightly overlapping them.
- Fold the dough strip in half lengthwise, encasing the toppings.
- Starting from one end, gently roll the folded dough into a rose shape. Pinch the bottom to secure.
- Arrange the rolled pizza roses on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them apart.

- Place in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown and the cheese is melted.

- If desired, garnish with fresh basil leaves for a pop of color.
Notes
