Preheat the Oven. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Prepare the Dough. Roll out the pizza dough into a rectangular shape, roughly 12x10 inches, on a lightly floured surface.
Assemble the Rolls. Cut the dough into 12 equal rectangles. Place 2-3 pepperoni slices in the center of each rectangle, and top with a sprinkle of mozzarella cheese.
Roll and Seal. Carefully roll up each dough rectangle, tucking in the edges as you roll to seal in the fillings. Pinch the ends closed.
Arrange on Baking Sheet. Place the rolls seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with melted butter and sprinkle with Italian seasoning if desired.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
Serve. Let cool slightly, then serve with marinara sauce on the side for dipping.
For an extra cheesy filling, add a bit more mozzarella or a mix of mozzarella and cheddar. Swap pepperoni for salami, cooked sausage, or even a vegetarian option like roasted bell peppers and olives. A sprinkle of garlic powder on top of the rolls before baking adds extra flavor.
