1-First, take the 16 ounces of thawed frozen bread dough and divide it into 8 equal pieces. Each piece should be flattened to about a 4×4 inch diameter on a lightly floured surface, setting the foundation for a soft, pillowy roll.

2-Next, for the filling, place 2 slices of pepperoni and 2 slices of mozzarella cheese (cut into fourths) in the center of each dough piece. Sprinkle each with a portion of the 1/2 teaspoon of Italian seasoning divided among the rolls, adding that extra flavor boost Italian seasoning is optional but really brings out the taste.

3-Then, fold the dough over the filling and roll it tightly, making sure to seal the seams carefully to keep everything inside. Place the rolls seam side down on a parchment-lined sheet tray for even baking.

4-After that, brush the tops with the egg wash made from 1 well-beaten large egg mixed with a splash of water. This gives them a shiny, golden brown finish when baked.

5-Preheat your oven to 400°F and bake the rolls for 10-12 minutes until they’re golden brown. Let them cool for about 5 minutes before serving, and enjoy them on their own or with pizza or marinara sauce for dipping.
