1. Prepare the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, and olive oil. Gradually mix in warm water until the mixture forms a soft dough. Knead the dough on a floured surface for 6-8 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. Cover it with a damp cloth and let it rest for 15-20 minutes.
2. Roll Out the Dough: Roll out the dough on a floured surface until it’s about 1/8-inch thick. Use a round cutter or glass to cut circles about 3 inches in diameter.
3. Prepare the Filling: In each dough circle, add about 1 teaspoon of pizza sauce, a sprinkle of mozzarella cheese, and a few pepperoni pieces (if using). Dust with garlic powder and oregano for extra flavor.
4. Seal the Pizza Rolls: Fold each dough circle over the filling to create a half-moon shape. Press the edges firmly and use a fork to crimp and seal them completely.
5. Cook the Rolls:
   • Frying Method: Heat about 1/2 inch of oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Fry each roll for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
   • Baking Method: For a healthier option, preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the rolls on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 15-18 minutes, or until crispy and golden.
6. Serve: Let them cool for a few minutes before serving with marinara sauce or ranch dressing for dipping.
