Method

Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Roll out your pizza dough into a large rectangle, about 12x16 inches, on a lightly floured surface.
Spread a generous layer of marinara sauce over the rolled dough, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.
Layer on mozzarella and cheddar cheese, followed by pepperoni, sausage, bell pepper, onion, and olives.
Carefully roll the dough up into a log shape, tucking in the filling, and pinch the seams to seal.
Place the log seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet, brush with olive oil, and sprinkle Italian seasoning on top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes until golden brown and the cheese is bubbling.
Remove from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
Slice into rounds or wedges and serve warm with extra marinara sauce.

Customize fillings to personal preference. Roll the dough tightly to prevent fillings from oozing out. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
