Ingredients You’ll Need

For the Rolls:

1 sheet of puff pastry (thawed if frozen)
½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese (or fresh mozzarella, finely chopped)
¼ cup sliced pepperoni (use turkey pepperoni for a lighter option)
1 tablespoon Italian seasoning or mixed dried herbs
1 egg (for egg wash)
1 tablespoon olive oil (optional, for extra crispiness)

Optional Toppings:

Grated Parmesan
Red pepper flakes 🌶
Fresh basil leaves (for garnish)

Substitutions:

🧀 Dairy-free? Use vegan cheese alternatives like Daiya or Violife.
🌾 Gluten-free? Use gluten-free puff pastry (check out Schär’s version).
🍖 Vegetarian? Skip the pepperoni or replace with sautéed mushrooms or roasted veggies.

Pro Tip: Shred your own mozzarella—pre-shredded varieties often contain anti-caking agents that affect meltability.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat & Prep:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Roll & Layer:
Roll out the puff pastry on a floured surface. Evenly sprinkle mozzarella, then layer pepperoni slices and herbs.
Roll It Up:
Starting from one edge, tightly roll the pastry into a log. Seal the edge with a bit of water.
Slice:
Use a sharp knife to cut the log into 1-inch thick rolls (you should get 10–12 pieces).
Egg Wash & Bake:
Place the rolls cut-side up on the baking sheet. Brush with beaten egg. Optional: Drizzle a bit of olive oil for extra crunch.
Bake:
Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until puffed and golden brown. Let cool slightly before serving.
