Step-by-Step Instructions for Easy Pizza Roses
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C), or to the temperature indicated on your pizza dough package.
  2. Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick.
  3. Spread a generous layer of marinara sauce evenly across the rolled-out dough, then layer on mozzarella cheese and pepperoni or your chosen toppings.
  4. Cut the dough into strips about 2 inches wide and roll each strip tightly from one end to the other to form a rose shape.
  5. Place each rolled rose in a greased muffin tin or on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Drizzle with olive oil if desired and bake for about 15 minutes until golden brown.
  6. Once baked, remove the Easy Pizza Roses from the oven and allow them to cool for a couple of minutes before serving warm.
