Ingredients

  • 12 sheets frozen phyllo dough, thawed
  • 4 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
  • 8 oz mozzarella cheese, cut into 12 slices
  • 36 pepperoni
  • 1 cup pizza sauce

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Line baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Take one sheet of phyllo dough and fold it in half crosswise. Brush the entire top half of the dough with melted butter.
  • At the bottom of the dough, spread 1 tablespoon pizza sauce then place 3 pepperoni on top and finish with a slice of mozzarella. Roll the dough over the filling, folding the side edges in to seal like a burrito. Place the roll seam-side down and repeat with the remaining rolls. Brush each with some melted butter.
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm with a side of sauce.

Notes

  • Thawed Phyllo Dough - do not use phyllo dough until it is thawed. Otherwise it will just crack.
  • Fold in Half - you want to take a sheet of phyllo dough and fold in half crosswise. This makes the dough slightly thicker, but also makes it the perfect size for a pizza roll.
  • Butter Phyllo Dough - you need to butter the top half of the phyllo dough so as you roll it up, it will stick together.
  • Cheese - I like using fresh mozzarella cheese but it can melt out slightly, which I don't mind. If you don't want this to happen, just use string cheese instead.
