How to Make a Philly Cheesesteak Pizza Roll
1. Preheat the Oven
Set your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
2. Cook the Steak
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the thinly sliced steak and cook until browned. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
3. Sauté the Peppers and Onions
Add the sliced bell pepper and onion to the skillet with the steak. Cook until soft and slightly caramelized. Set the mixture aside.
4. Roll Out the Dough
On a parchment-lined baking sheet, roll out the pizza dough into a rectangle.
5. Add the Cheese & Fillings
Sprinkle mozzarella cheese evenly over the dough. Then, spread the steak, peppers, and onions over the cheese. Add the sliced mushrooms, followed by the provolone and Parmesan cheese on top.
6. Roll It Up
Carefully roll the dough into a log shape, starting from one long edge. Pinch the edges to seal and place it seam-side down on the baking sheet.
7. Brush with Butter & Season
In a small bowl, mix the melted butter, garlic powder, and dried parsley. Brush this mixture all over the rolled dough for extra flavor.
8. Bake Until Golden
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the roll is golden brown and crispy.
9. Slice & Serve
Let it cool for a few minutes before slicing. Serve warm and enjoy the cheesy, meaty goodness!
