Equipment

  • baking sheet
  • parchment paper
  • Rolling Pin
  • knife or pizza cutter
  • pastry brush
  • oven

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Lightly flour your work surface and roll out the dough into a rectangle if needed.
  3. Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
  4. Sprinkle the mozzarella, ham or turkey pepperoni, bell pepper, Parmesan, and oregano evenly over the sauce.
  5. Starting from one long side, roll the dough up tightly into a log. Pinch the seam to seal.
  6. Slice the log into 1-inch rolls and place them cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet.
  7. Brush the tops lightly with the beaten egg.
  8. Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, or until puffed and golden brown.
  9. Let the pizza rolls cool for a few minutes before packing them in the lunchbox.

Notes

You can use either puff pastry or pizza dough depending on what you have on hand. For extra flavor, serve with a small container of warm pizza sauce for dipping.
