### Recipe FAQ’s
#### What is pizza roll dough made of?
Traditional pizza dough is generally composed of flour, water, salt, yeast, and olive oil. You have the option to either prepare your own dough or utilize pre-made dough, including crescent roll dough, for this recipe.
#### How long do you bake pizza rolls for?
I suggest baking pizza rolls for approximately 18-22 minutes, and it’s a good idea to start checking them at the 18-minute mark. Remove the rolls from the oven when the tops and edges are golden brown, ensuring the centers are fully cooked for optimal results.

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375˚F.
- Roll the pizza dough into a large rectangle, roughly 12 inches long and 8-9 inches wide. Brush the olive oil evenly across the surface. Sprinkle garlic powder and Italian seasoning on top.

- Sure! Here’s the revised version while keeping the structure and context intact:
—
Start by taking one edge of the crust and tightly rolling it into a log shape. Seal the edges of the dough, ensuring they stick together. Use a serrated knife to slice the log into twelve pieces, each about 1 inch thick.
Next, arrange each roll flat on a baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between them. Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, or until the tops are a golden brown and the centers are fully cooked.
Heat some marinara sauce and serve the Cheesy Pepperoni Pizza Rolls warm, accompanied by the sauce for dipping.
