Ingredients
  

  • 2 cans pizza sheet dough
  • ¼ cup pizza sauce
  • ¼ cup mozzarella cheese
  • 20 pepperonis
  • 4 tablespoons fresh basil roughly chopped

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F. Open one of the canned dough sheets and unroll. Stretch it until it achieves an even thickness. Do the same with the second can of dough, ensuring it's the same size as the first. Once stretched, set the second sheet aside while you prep the first.
  • Using the back of a spoon, spread the pizza sauce evenly over the dough.
  • Arrange the pepperonis in rows, each slightly overlapping. Maintain about a half-inch gap between each row - you should aim for roughly 6 rows of pepperoni.
  • Evenly sprinkle the mozzarella cheese over the pepperonis, followed by the roughly chopped fresh basil.
  • Place the second sheet of dough on top. Cut the combined dough into strips, aligning your cuts with the spaces between the pepperoni rows.
  • Take each strip by its ends and twist in opposite directions 1-2 times. Place these twists onto a baking sheet.
  • Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the pizza twists achieve a golden-brown color and are thoroughly cooked.
  • Serve with ranch or additional pizza sauce for dipping. Enjoy!
