Pepperoni Pizza Twists

A good twist of pepperoni pizza. 

Ingredients

Pizza dough from Home Baked pizza
Garlic powder - 2 tsp
Dried parsley - 2 tsp
Red pepper flakes - 1/2 tsp (optional)
Grated Parmesan cheese - 6 TBSP
Extra virgin olive oil - 3 TBSP
Pepperoni - 4 oz
Shredded mozzarella cheese or other shredded cheese combo- 4 oz

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 425°F.
2. Roll the dough out into a rectangle on a lightly floured large cutting board.
3. Combine the garlic powder, parsley, Parmesan cheese, and red pepper flakes in a small bowl. Sprinkle about half of the seasoning blend onto the dough. Sprinkle the cheese on one half of the dough and top it with the pepperoni. If you're using full-size pepperoni, cut them into quarters. Fold the side of the dough without the pepperoni on it over to the other side, covering the filing.

4. Use a sharp knife or a pizza cutter to cut the dough into thin strips. You'll get about 12 strips out of one pound of dough. Twist the strips a few times and press down on the ends to keep them closed. Brush the tops of the twists with olive oil and sprinkle with seasoning blend. Place the twists on a parchment-lined baking sheet, seasoned side down.

5. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes or until twists are golden brown.

6. Serve directly or with marinara or ranch dressing.
