5. Arrange the sliced pepperoni over the cheese.
6. Starting from one long edge, carefully roll the dough into a tight log.
7. Cut the log into 12 equal pieces and place them cut side up on the prepared baking sheet.
8. Brush the tops with olive oil and sprinkle with Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt.
9. Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and cooked through.

Tips:
Use a sharp knife to cut the rolled dough for clean, even pizza bombs.
For a spicy kick, add red pepper flakes to the cheese layer before rolling.
