# Expert Advice:
01 -
- The beef pepperoni gets perfectly crisp in the oven, creating those little edges everyone fights over
- These freeze beautifully before baking, so you can always have game day ready in 20 minutes
02 -
- A slightly warm dough room temperature for 30 minutes rolls out much more easily than cold dough that fights back
- Letting the rolls rest for 5 minutes after baking prevents the cheese from burning eager mouths
03 -
- If the dough springs back while rolling, let it rest for 5 minutes then try again gluten needs time to relax
- For extra crisp bottoms, place the baking sheet directly on the oven floor or lowest rack for the first 5 minutes
