Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease two 12-cup muffin tins.
- Place the 6 ounces chopped pepperoni in a food processor. Add the 1/2 cup cooked, drained, and crumbled Italian sausage, 1/4 cup of the shredded Parmesan cheese, the 1/2 cup chopped scallions, and 1 1/2 tablespoons of the pizza seasoning. Pulse until the ingredients are evenly chopped and combined.
- Transfer the mixture to a large bowl and stir in the 1 1/4 cups marinara sauce until incorporated (this is the meat sauce).
- Lightly flour a work surface. Remove each 1-pound package of pizza dough from its packaging and form each into a ball (you should have two dough balls).
- Working with one dough ball at a time, roll one ball into a 10×12-inch rectangle on the floured surface.
- Spread half of the meat sauce evenly over the rectangle, leaving a 1/2- to 1-inch border of uncovered dough around the edges.
- Sprinkle half of the 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce.
- Starting from the long side, roll the dough tightly into a log about 12 inches long.
- Slice the log into 12 approximately 1-inch pieces (an easy method is to cut the log in half, then cut each half in half, etc., until you have 12 pieces).
- Place each piece, cut side up, into the cups of one of the greased muffin tins.
- Repeat steps 5–10 with the second dough ball, remaining meat sauce, and remaining mozzarella, placing the pieces into the cups of the second muffin tin.
- Brush the tops of all the pizza rolls with the 3 tablespoons olive oil. Sprinkle with the remaining shredded Parmesan cheese and the remaining pizza seasoning.
- Bake for 20 to 24 minutes, or until the pizza rolls are golden brown.
- Remove the pans from the oven, let the rolls sit in the tins for a few minutes, then remove the rolls and transfer to a platter or basket to serve.
