Creating Pizza Roses with Pepperoni is straightforward if you follow these simple steps:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a muffin tin.
2. Roll Out the Dough: On a floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a rectangle about ¼ inch thick.
3. Cut the Dough: Using a pizza cutter or knife, slice the dough into strips about 2 inches wide.
4. Spread Marinara Sauce: Evenly spread a thin layer of marinara sauce over each strip of dough.
5. Add Cheese: Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese generously on top of the sauce.
6. Layer Pepperoni: Place slices of pepperoni evenly over the cheese.
7. Fold the Dough: Fold each strip in half lengthwise, creating a double-layered strip.
8. Form the Roses: Starting from one end, roll the folded strip into a rose shape. Pinch the bottom to secure it.
9. Place in Muffin Tin: Gently place each rose into a greased muffin tin, ensuring they are snug but not too tightly packed.
10. Brush with Egg Wash: In a small bowl, whisk the egg and brush it over the tops of the roses.
11. Sprinkle Cheese and Seasoning: Add a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning on top.
12. Bake: Place the muffin tin in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
13. Cool: Remove from the oven and allow the Pizza Roses to cool for about 10-15 minutes.
14. Garnish: For an extra touch, add fresh basil leaves before serving.
