Ingredients

Pizza Dough

2 3/4 - 3 cups flour
1 package yeast 2 1/4 teaspoons
1 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup warm water
1 tablespoon olive oil

Filling

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning or to taste
1 tablespoon parmesan cheese shredded
1/2 cup mozzarella cheese shredded
24 slices pepperoni

Instructions

In a large bowl, add 1 cup of flour, yeast, sugar, and salt and combine together. Add the water and the olive oil and mix in.
Add enough of the remaining flour to make a soft dough that is slightly tacky. Grease the bottom of the bowl and turn the ball of dough over.
Let the dough rise so it is doubled in size. It should take 45 minutes to an hour.
Grease the surface with shortening. With your fingertips and palms of your hands pat the dough into a 9-inch by 12-inch retangle.
Brush the olive oil over the top of the dough. Take the Italian seasoning and sprinkle over the olive oil.
Take the parmesan cheese and sprinkle over top of the oil. Spread the mozzarella over the top of the parmesan cheese.
Place the pepperoni over the top of the other ingredients. It is best to put them in rows.
Roll up the dough, so that you have a 12-inch roll. Cut the roll into 12 rolls.
Place the rolls into a greased 9 by 13-inch baking pan. Let the rolls rest for 15 to 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 375 while the rolls are resting.
Bake the rolls for 17 to 20 in the preheated oven or until lightly browned.
Serve with marinara sauce.

Notes

The dough should be doubled in size, time may vary depending on which type of yeast you have and the temperature of the room.
Instead of using flour for the working surface, when rolling out the dough, grease the surface with shortening.
Use scissors for cutting the rolls. I have found this to be the easiest way to cut them.
Store leftovers in the refrigerator.
