# Steps:
01 -
Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and move the rack to the middle. Lightly coat a 12-slot muffin pan using oil or a spray of your choice.
02 -
Roll the pizza dough ball into a large rectangle roughly ½” thick on a floured tabletop. For Pillsbury pizza dough, just unroll it onto your floured counter or a piece of parchment.
03 -
Spread marinara or pizza sauce across the dough in a thin, even layer. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella on top to cover the sauce evenly.
04 -
Scatter your choice of toppings like mushrooms, bell peppers, or onions on top of the cheese. At the very end, spread the pepperoni evenly across everything.
05 -
Mark 12 even sections along the length of the dough with a knife or pizza cutter. Slice into strips, roll each one tightly, and place into the greased muffin pan.
06 -
Combine melted butter with garlic and parsley in a small dish. Use a brush to spread this mixture across the tops of the rolls.
07 -
Pop the rolls into your oven for 20-25 minutes, until their tops turn a nice golden shade.
08 -
When ready to serve, sprinkle some Parmesan on top and grab a little pizza sauce on the side for dipping. Have fun eating!
