Preparation Instructions
- Prepare pizza dough through step 4. When the dough is ready, punch it down to release air bubbles. Divide into halves and roll each into a rectangle, about 10x12 inches.
- Brush the tops lightly with 1 teaspoon olive oil each. Push dents into the surface of the dough to prevent bubbling. Spread ⅓ cup pizza sauce on each rectangle and sprinkle with Italian seasoning and garlic powder.
- Sprinkle ½ cup shredded mozzarella over sauce, then add pepperoni slices. Roll dough rectangles into tight logs and place on a baking sheet, seam side down. Chill in refrigerator for at least 20 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 400°F (204°C) and line two baking sheets with silicone mats or parchment paper.
- Remove logs from the refrigerator and cut into 12 1-inch slices. Dip the bottom of each roll in cornmeal and place on baking sheets, cornmeal side down.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes or until browned. Cool for 5 minutes, then serve with fresh basil and extra pizza sauce.
Notes
Make ahead and freeze rolls for up to 3 months. Bake frozen at 350°F for 25-30 minutes. Recipe can be halved to yield 12 rolls.
