  3. Mix the softened cream cheese with herb and garlic seasoning until smooth.
  4. Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.
  5. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese, chopped pepperoni, and finely chopped green peppers over the cream cheese.
  6. Roll the dough tightly from the long side, pressing the seam and edges firmly to seal.
  7. Brush the top and sides of the roll with olive oil and sprinkle with Italian seasoning.
  8. Cover the roll and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
  9. Preheat oven to 350ðF (175ðC).

Note

For best results, ensure the dough is fully thawed before rolling to prevent tearing.

You can substitute the cream cheese with a vegan alternative if needed, though the original recipe tags mention vegan but include dairy cheeses. Adjust fillings accordingly for a true vegan version.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350ðF for 10-15 minutes to restore crispness.

Feel free to customize the filling with other pizza toppings like mushrooms, onions, or olives.
