Ingredients
  

Dough & Fillings
  • 1 lb refrigerated or homemade pizza dough brought to room temperature
  • 2 cups shredded whole-milk mozzarella cheese freshly shredded
  • 6 slices provolone cheese
  • 4 oz halal beef pepperoni or turkey pepperoni thinly sliced
  • 1/3 cup rich marinara or pizza sauce plus extra for warm dipping
Garlic Herb Glaze & Topping
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter melted
  • 2 cloves garlic finely minced
  • 1 tsp dried Italian seasoning oregano, basil, thyme
  • 2 tbsp grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
  • 1 large egg whisked with 1 tsp water for egg wash

Method
 

Assembly & Baking Method
  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. On a lightly floured surface, roll pizza dough out into a 10x14-inch rectangle, roughly 1/4-inch thick.
  3. Spread marinara sauce lightly across the dough, leaving a 1-inch border on all sides. Layer provolone slices, shredded mozzarella, and pepperoni slices evenly across the surface.
  4. Starting from the long edge, roll the dough tightly like a jelly roll. Pinch the seam and tuck both outer ends underneath to seal the cheese completely.
  5. Transfer seam-side down to prepared baking sheet. Brush the top generously with egg wash, then brush melted garlic herb butter and dust with grated parmesan.
  6. Using a sharp knife, cut 3 to 4 diagonal slits across the top crust to allow steam to escape during baking.
  7. Bake at 400°F for 20 to 22 minutes until crust is deep golden brown and cheese is bubbling gently through vents. Rest 5 minutes before slicing diagonally into warm rounds. Serve with extra marinara!
