Fremgangsmåte

# Preheat oven to 450ºF/230ºC, and line a sheet tray with parchment paper.

# In a large bowl, mix the warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let sit for 5 minutes, or until the mixture becomes cloudy and slightly foamy.

# Add the flour, salt, and 1 tablespoon of oil to the bowl with the yeast mixture and stir until combined.

# Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 3-5 minutes.

# Wipe the large bowl clean and lightly coat with remaining oil. Place the dough

# into the bowl and cover with plastic wrap and a dish towel, then set in a warm place for 20 minutes, or until the dough has nearly doubled in size.

# Once risen, turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and stretch the dough into a 12x22-inch rectangle.

# Layer the marinara, mozzarella, and pepperoni in the center of the rectangle, lengthwise, leaving 1-2 inches on the top and bottom.

# Slice the dough in half through the center, lengthwise.

# Fold each piece’s center edge towards the outer edge and pat down, creating a long roll-up.

# Slice each roll into 4-5 equal pieces. Pinch the edges closed on all the pieces and place on sheet tray.

# Brush the tops with olive oil and sprinkle with cheese.

# Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until light golden brown.

# Enjoy immediately or allow to cool, then freeze in an airtight container up to 1-2 months.

# To reheat, microwave for 45 seconds to 1 minute.
