Easy Pizza Rose for Valentines Day with Pepperoni | Crispy Edges

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a standard 12-cup muffin tin with non-stick spray or butter.
2. On a lightly floured surface, unroll the pizza dough.
3. Using a pizza cutter, slice the dough lengthwise into 12 equal strips, about 1 to 1.5 inches wide.
4. Lightly brush the top half of each dough strip with the marinara sauce. Stop before the edges to prevent leaking.
5. Sprinkle about 2 tablespoons of mozzarella along the center of each strip.
6. Lay 5 pepperoni slices along the top edge of each strip, overlapping them by half. Ensure the top half of the pepperoni hangs over the edge of the dough.
7. Fold the bottom half of the dough strip up over the bottom half of the pepperoni and cheese.
8. Starting from one end, carefully roll the strip into a tight spiral. Keep the bottom flush so it sits flat in the tin.
9. Pinch the end of the dough strip into the side of the roll to seal it.
10. Set each rose into a greased muffin cup.
11. Mix the melted butter, garlic powder, and oregano. Brush the edges of the dough and bake at 375°F for 15 minutes until the dough is golden and the pepperoni edges are crispy.
12. Let the roses rest in the tin for 5 minutes after baking to let the cheese set.
