Description
Fun and delicious pizza roses that look special and come together quickly, perfect for a cozy meal or a festive occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 can pizza dough
- 1/2 cup marinara sauce
- 6–8 slices mozzarella
- 12–18 pepperoni slices
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Lightly grease a muffin tin with cooking spray or butter.
- Open the pizza dough and unroll it on a clean surface. Cut the dough into six long strips, about 1–2 inches wide.
- Spread a thin layer of marinara on each strip, leaving a small border.
- Lay mozzarella along the strip and place pepperoni so half hangs off the edge.
- Roll each strip tightly into a rose and tuck the ends under.
- Place each rose into a muffin cup, snug but not squished.
- Bake for 12–15 minutes until golden and bubbly.
- Let cool for a few minutes before removing and garnish if desired.
Notes
Serve warm with extra marinara for dipping. Keep strips even for consistent roses and avoid overloading with sauce.
