The Ingredients — and where to get them
Cook for 24 rolls
Pizza dough
A stretchy dough that rolls thin and crisps at the edges.

Mozzarella
Low-moisture shredded so it melts without flooding the roll.
1 cup shredded
Pepperoni
Chopped small so it distributes into every roll.
1/2 cup chopped
Parmesan
A little grated in adds savory depth behind the mozzarella.
2 tbsp grated
Egg
Beaten as a wash to seal the seams and brown the tops.
