Cheesy Pepperoni Pull-Apart Rolls

How fun are these pull-apart pepperoni pizza rolls shaped like a football? Serve with your favorite marinara dipping sauce for the perfect game day snack, Enjoy! 🏈
Course: Appetizer
Cuisine: American
Servings: 8

Ingredients

PIZZA ROLLS:

  • 7 mozzarella sticks cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 lb. refrigerated pizza dough divided
  • 1/2 c. sliced pepperoni finely chopped

EGG WASH:

  • 1 lg. egg
  • 1 T. water

TOPPING:

  • 4 T. butter melted
  • 1/2 c. grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 T. finely chopped basil
  • 1 T. finely chopped parsley
  • 1 T. finely chopped rosemary
  • Marinara warmed for serving

GARNISH:

  • 2 mozzarella sticks thinly sliced lengthwise for laces

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Line a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • PIZZA ROLLS: Cut mozzarella sticks into 1-inch pieces and set aside. Finely chop the sliced pepperoni.
  • On a well-floured surface, divide the pizza dough in half. Stretch and roll each half into a 6×10-inch rectangle, then cut into 2-inch squares (you should have 15 squares per rectangle for a total of 30 squares).
  • Wrap the dough squares around each piece of mozzarella and some chopped pepperoni forming a tightly sealed ball. Place the dough balls seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet in the shape of a football (they should be touching).
  • EGG WASH: In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water then brush over the dough balls. Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden.
  • TOPPING: Meanwhile, whisk the melted butter, parmesan cheese and herbs together. Brush over the baked pizza rolls.
  • Thinly slice 2 mozzarella sticks lengthwise to create laces. Lay them over the rolls.
  • Serve warm with marinara sauce for dipping, Enjoy!
