# What You Need:

1 can refrigerated pizza dough

02 -
1/2 cup marinara sauce
→ Cheese

4 ounces mozzarella cheese, sliced

# How to Make It:
01 -
Set oven temperature to 400°F (204°C) to ensure an even baking environment.
02 -
Lightly grease each cup of a standard muffin tin using nonstick spray or butter.
03 -
Unroll pizza dough onto a clean surface. With a sharp knife or pizza cutter, divide the dough into six long strips, each approximately 1–2 inches wide.
04 -
Spread a thin, even layer of marinara sauce on each dough strip, leaving a small border along the edges.
05 -
Arrange sliced mozzarella cheese atop the sauce, ensuring it covers each strip without overflowing.
06 -
Place four pepperoni slices along each strip, staggering so half of each slice hangs over the dough’s edge.
07 -
Roll each strip tightly, shaping into a rose; tuck the end underneath to maintain form.
08 -
Place each formed rose into a prepared muffin cup, seam side down.
09 -
Place muffin tin on center rack and bake for 12–15 minutes, or until dough is golden and cheese is melted and bubbling.
# Extra Tips:
01 -
Allow pizza roses to rest for a minute after baking for easier removal from the tin.
