# What You Need:
→ Dough

02 - 1 packet (7 g) instant dry yeast
03 - 1 teaspoon sugar
04 - 3/4 teaspoon salt
05 - 3/4 cup warm water
06 - 2 tablespoons olive oil
→ Filling
07 - 3/4 cup halal beef or chicken pepperoni, diced
08 - 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
09 - 1/2 cup pizza sauce
10 - 1/2 cup diced bell peppers
11 - 1/4 cup diced red onion
12 - 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
13 - 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
→ Topping
14 - 2 tablespoons melted butter or olive oil
15 - 1 teaspoon garlic powder
16 - 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese
17 - 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
# How-To:
01 - Combine flour, yeast, sugar, and salt in a large bowl. Add warm water and olive oil, mixing to form a soft dough. Knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Cover and let rise in a warm place for 30 minutes until doubled in size.
02 - Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
03 - Punch down the risen dough and roll out on a lightly floured surface into a 12x10-inch rectangle.
04 - Spread pizza sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a 1/2-inch border. Distribute mozzarella cheese, halal pepperoni, bell peppers, red onion, oregano, and basil across the sauced area.
05 - Starting from the long side, tightly roll the dough into a log. Pinch the seam firmly to seal.
06 - Cut the log into 1-inch pieces and place cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet.
07 - Brush the tops with melted butter or olive oil. Sprinkle with garlic powder, Parmesan cheese, and fresh parsley.
08 - Bake for 18-20 minutes until golden brown and cheese is bubbling.
09 - Let cool slightly before serving. Serve warm with additional pizza sauce for dipping.
