Ingredients
Dough
- 1 lb pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 tbsp olive oil (for brushing)
Fillings (mix & match)
- 1½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
- ½ lb cooked ground beef or Italian sausage
- ½ cup pepperoni slices (optional)
- ½ cup cooked bacon, crumbled
- ½ cup mushrooms, sliced
- ½ cup bell peppers, diced
- ¼ cup black olives, sliced
- ¼ cup red onion, finely chopped
Seasoning
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- Salt & black pepper, to taste
Topping
- 2 tbsp melted butter
- 2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp dried parsley (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 190°C (375°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Roll out the dough into a large rectangle on a lightly floured surface.
- Layer the fillings evenly over the dough, leaving a 2–3 cm border on all sides. Start with cheese, then meats, veggies, and seasonings.
- Roll it up tightly from the long side like a jelly roll. Pinch seams and tuck ends underneath.
- Transfer to baking sheet, seam-side down.
- Brush with olive oil and bake for 25–30 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through.
- Finish it off: Brush with melted butter, sprinkle Parmesan and parsley.
- Rest 5 minutes, slice, and serve warm.
Tips & Variations
- Go pizza-style with marinara on the side for dipping.
- Make it spicy: add jalapeños or red pepper flakes.
- Try a breakfast version: scrambled eggs, sausage, and cheddar.
- Keep it veg-only with extra mushrooms, spinach, and olives.
Enjoy every messy, cheesy bite
