Pizza Roses Recipes

Steps:

• Cut off a piece of pizza dough and roll out over a floured surface until it's about 8 inches (20 cm) long. Try to get the dough as thin as possible.
• Cover lightly in pizza sauce.
• Place pepperoni at one end, so that the pepperoni aligns with the bottom of the dough. Place the second pepperoni piece so that it overlaps with the first piece, and is placed sightly higher than the bottom line of the dough. Continue layering pepperoni so that each one overlaps a bit less than the previous piece, and follows an upward angle.
• Sprinkle the bottom half with low moisture mozzarella cheese, and beginning from the end with the most pepperoni, roll the dough into a lose coil.
• Place in a muffin tin, with the pepperoni facing up.
• If opting for the vegetarian version, peel long strips of skin off a tomato. (Video shows center ring being cut but you can peel strips from top to bottom to use more of the tomato)
• Bake at 400°F (204°C) for 20-25 minutes, or until pepperoni edges are crispy and the dough is fully cooked through.
• Remove from the oven and let cool. Lay over a bed of basil leaves (for taste and presentation).
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Spray a 12-count muffin pan with nonstick cooking spray.
• Unroll the pizza dough onto a floured work surface. Using a rolling pin, roll out the dough slightly so that it is a uniform rectangle about 11 inches by 15 inches.
• Slice the pizza dough widthwise into twelve 1 1/2-inch-wide strips. Separate the strips on the work surface. Spread a thin layer of pizza sauce onto each strip and sprinkle with a thin layer of cheese. Place about 7 slices of pepperoni slightly overlapping down the center of each pizza dough strip so that the top halves of the pepperoni slices hang over the edge of the dough strip. Carefully roll up each strip into a tight roll so it looks like a rose bud, then transfer to the prepared muffin pan.
• Bake until the crust is golden and the pepperoni is slightly crispy, 15 to 18 minutes. Let cool in the pan about 3 minutes. Serve warm.
