# Instructions:
01 -
Begin by heating your oven to the temperature specified on your pizza dough package. This sets the stage for perfectly baked poppers.
02 -
On a lightly floured surface, roll your pizza dough into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick, creating the canvas for your pizza masterpiece.
03 -
Spread your pizza sauce evenly across the dough, leaving a small border around the edges to help seal your roll.
04 -
Sprinkle your mozzarella, Parmesan, chopped pepperoni, dried oregano, and garlic powder over the sauce. This is where the magic happens - feel free to add any other toppings that make your heart happy!
05 -
Starting from one of the longer sides, roll the dough tightly into a log, keeping the fillings snug inside.
06 -
Using a sharp knife, cut your log into 1-inch slices to create your pizza poppers. Each one will be a perfect spiral of flavor.
07 -
Place your pizza poppers on a parchment-lined or lightly greased baking sheet, giving each one a little space to expand.
08 -
Lightly brush the tops with olive oil to help them achieve that perfect golden crust.
09 -
Bake in your preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, until the poppers are beautifully golden and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
10 -
Allow your poppers to cool for just a few minutes before serving. For an extra treat, serve with additional warm pizza sauce for dipping.
