### Step-by-Step Instructions for Pepperoni, Ham, and Salami Pizza Rolls
Making these **Pepperoni, Ham, and Salami Pizza Rolls** is a breeze. Here’s a step-by-step guide to get you started:
#### 1. **Preheat the Oven**
Preheat your oven to **375°F (190°C)** and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent the pizza rolls from sticking.
#### 2. **Prepare the Pizza Dough**
If you’re using store-bought pizza dough, roll it out on a floured surface into a large rectangle—about 10×12 inches. If you’re using homemade dough, simply follow your dough recipe’s instructions to roll it out into a similar-sized rectangle.
#### 3. **Assemble the Pizza Rolls**
Spread a thin layer of **marinara sauce** over the pizza dough, leaving a small border around the edges. Sprinkle the dough evenly with **shredded mozzarella cheese** and **shredded cheddar cheese** (if using). Next, layer the **pepperoni**, **ham**, and **salami** slices on top of the cheese. You can overlap them slightly for maximum flavor in every bite.
#### 4. **Roll Up the Dough**
Carefully roll the dough up from the long edge, like a jelly roll or cinnamon roll. Keep the roll tight so that the filling stays inside, but not too tight that it squeezes the toppings out. Once rolled, pinch the edges together to seal the roll.
#### 5. **Slice the Pizza Rolls**
Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, slice the rolled-up dough into **1-inch slices**. You should get about 8-10 pizza rolls depending on the size of the dough and how thick you cut each roll.
#### 6. **Arrange on the Baking Sheet**
Place the sliced pizza rolls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them out slightly so they have room to puff up and cook evenly. If you like, you can brush the tops of the rolls with a bit of **olive oil** to help them achieve a golden-brown color as they bake.
#### 7. **Bake the Pizza Rolls**
Bake the pizza rolls in the preheated oven for **15-20 minutes**, or until the dough is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbling. You may want to check halfway through baking to make sure they’re not getting too brown—if they are, cover them loosely with foil and continue baking.
#### 8. **Add Final Touches**
Once they’re out of the oven, let the pizza rolls cool for a few minutes. If desired, sprinkle the rolls with **dried oregano**, **garlic powder**, or **fresh basil** for an extra boost of flavor and a beautiful finish.
#### 9. **Serve and Enjoy**
Serve the **pepperoni, ham, and salami pizza rolls** warm with a side of **marinara sauce** for dipping. Enjoy them as a snack, appetizer, or even as a main course paired with a side salad.
### Tips for Perfect Pepperoni, Ham, and Salami Pizza Rolls
– **Use a Combination of Cheeses**: While mozzarella is the classic cheese choice for pizza rolls, adding a bit of **cheddar** or **parmesan** can give the rolls an extra cheesy flavor and make them even more indulgent.
– **Customize the Fillings**: Feel free to swap out or add different toppings based on your preferences. You can add **mushrooms**, **green peppers**, **onions**, or even **olives** to make these pizza rolls more exciting.
– **Make Ahead and Freeze**: If you want to prepare these ahead of time, you can assemble the pizza rolls and freeze them before baking. Simply place the rolls on a baking sheet in the freezer until frozen solid, then transfer them to a freezer bag. When you’re ready to bake, just add a few extra minutes to the baking time.
– **Try Different Sauces**: While marinara sauce is the classic dipping sauce, you can experiment with different sauces like **pesto**, **garlic butter**, or even **ranch dressing** for a fun twist.
– **Use Store-Bought Dough for Convenience**: If you’re short on time, using store-bought pizza dough is a great shortcut. It saves you time without sacrificing flavor, and you’ll still end up with delicious pizza rolls!
