  3. Spread a layer of marinara sauce over the dough, leaving a half-inch border around the edges.
  4. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese, mini pepperoni slices, Italian seasoning, and garlic powder over the sauce.
  5. Roll the dough tightly from the long edge into a log, securing the filling inside.
  6. Slice the log into 10 to 12 evenly sized spirals.
  7. Place the spirals on the baking sheet, spacing them apart, and brush with egg wash if desired.
