# Ingredients:

→ Base Dough

01 - 1 tube Pillsbury pizza dough or store-bought pizza dough ball

→ Filling

02 - 1 ½ cups pepperoni slices or plant-based pepperoni for vegetarian option
03 - 1 ½ cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
04 - 1 cup pizza sauce or marinara sauce
05 - ½ cup mushrooms, finely diced
06 - ½ cup onions, finely diced
07 - ½ cup bell peppers, finely diced

→ Garlic Butter

08 - ¼ cup salted butter, melted
09 - 1 clove garlic, minced
10 - 1 teaspoon parsley, dried or fresh (optional)

→ For Serving

11 - Pizza sauce, for dipping
12 - Parmesan cheese, for garnish

# Steps:

01 - Preheat the oven to 175°C and position a rack in the middle. Grease a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray or brush with cooking oil.
02 - Roll the store-bought pizza dough ball on a lightly floured surface into a large rectangle about 1.3 cm thick. If using Pillsbury pizza dough, simply unroll and place on a lightly floured piece of parchment paper or kitchen counter.
03 - Evenly spread the pizza sauce over the dough, followed by an even distribution of shredded mozzarella cheese.
04 - Distribute the diced onions, mushrooms, and bell peppers over the cheese layer. Top with an even layer of pepperoni slices.
05 - Use a knife or pizza cutter to make 12 evenly spaced markings along the long edge of the dough. Cut into 12 strips, then tightly roll each strip into a spiral and place in the prepared muffin tin.
06 - In a small bowl, mix together the melted butter, minced garlic, and parsley. Brush this garlic butter generously over the tops of each pizza roll.
07 - Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the rolls turn golden brown and are cooked through.
08 - Sprinkle the baked pizza rolls with shredded parmesan cheese and serve warm with extra pizza sauce for dipping.
