Ingredients
  

Main ingredients
  • 8 pieces Mozzarella Sticks melty and creamy center
  • 16 slices Pepperoni Slices smoky and savory layer of flavor
  • 1 sheet Pizza Dough or Crescent Roll Dough wraps the filling for a golden crust
  • ½ cup Pizza Sauce used for brushing and dipping
  • 1 tablespoon Olive Oil creates crisp, golden texture
  • ½ teaspoon Garlic Powder adds aromatic depth
  • ½ teaspoon Italian Seasoning infuses classic pizza herbs
  • 2 tablespoons Parmesan Cheese adds salty, nutty finish
  • 1 piece Egg (beaten) seals and gives golden sheen

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) or oil the fryer to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Roll out the pizza dough and cut it into strips.
  3. Layer two slices of pepperoni on each dough strip, add a mozzarella stick, brush with pizza sauce, and roll tightly.
  4. Use the beaten egg to seal the edges and brush the tops.
Cooking
  1. Bake for 12–15 minutes until golden, or fry until crisp.
  2. Brush with olive oil and sprinkle garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and Parmesan.
Serving
  1. Serve warm with pizza sauce or garlic butter for dipping.

Notes

For storing leftovers, place uneaten sticks in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in an oven or air fryer for crispiness. Freeze uncooked mozzarella sticks for up to 2 months; bake from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the cook time. Experiment with different types of pepperoni and cheese for unique flavors.
