Cheesy Pizza Rolls Recipe

Ingredients:
1 loaf (1 lb.) frozen pizza dough, thawed
1/2 c. pasta sauce
1 c. (4 oz.) shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese, divided
1 c. coarsely chopped pepperoni (about 64 slices)
1/2 lb. bulk Italian sausage, cooked and crumbled
1/4 c. grated Parmesan cheese
Minced fresh basil, optional
Crushed red pepper flakes, optional

Directions:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.  On a lightly floured surface, roll dough into a 16x10 inch rectangle.  Brush with pasta sauce to within 1/2 inch of edges.

Sprinkle with mozzarella cheese, pepperoni, sausage and Parmesan.  Roll up jelly-roll style, starting with a long side; pinch seam to seal.  Cut into 8 slices.  Place in a greased 9 inch cast-iron skillet or greased 9 inch round baking pan, cut side down.

Bake 20 minutes; sprinkle with remaining mozzarella cheese.  Bake until golden brown, 5-10 minutes more.  If desired, serve with minced fresh basil and crushed red pepper flakes.
