01 -
Follow the instructions on your pizza dough package and get the oven preheated.
02 -
Slice the dough into strips about 2 inches wide, then gently press down to make them around 3 inches across. This helps them cook evenly.
03 -
Coat one side of each strip with the sauce lengthwise. Sprinkle cheese on top and add snugly layered pepperoni. Add another cheese layer to finish it.
04 -
Fold the side without sauce over the toppings, and carefully roll the strip from one end to the other to shape it into a rose.
05 -
Arrange roses on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper or similar. If you'd like, adjust the pepperoni to fan it out a bit.
06 -
Put the tray on the oven's bottom rack. Let them bake for around 12 to 15 minutes or until golden. If the pepperoni is browning too fast, cover them lightly with foil.
