Making Easy Pizza Roses is a delightful process that you can easily follow. Here’s how to do it step-by-step:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare Dough: Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface to about ¼ inch thickness.
3. Add Sauce: Spread a thin layer of pizza sauce evenly over the dough.
4. Sprinkle Cheese: Evenly sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce.
5. Add Toppings: Lay out your sliced pepperoni or preferred toppings on top of the cheese.
6. Cut Dough: Using a pizza cutter or sharp knife, cut the dough into 2-inch wide strips.
7. Roll the Dough: Starting from one end of a strip, roll it up tightly to form a rose shape. Make sure to tuck in the toppings as you roll.
8. Place in Muffin Tin: Lightly grease a muffin tin and place each rolled rose into a cup.
9. Drizzle with Olive Oil: Brush the tops of the pizza roses with olive oil and sprinkle with Italian seasoning if desired.
10. Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
11. Cool Slightly: Once baked, remove from the oven and allow to cool for a few minutes.
12. Garnish: If desired, garnish with fresh basil leaves before serving.

These steps will guide you in creating these incredible pizza roses effortlessly.
