  8. Brush the tops with melted butter.

Notes

You can customize these rolls with different meats like regular pepperoni, ham, or cooked sausage. Shredded mozzarella can be used instead of string cheese. Add vegetables like finely chopped bell peppers, olives, or mushrooms, but ensure they're dry to prevent soggy rolls. For extra heat, add red pepper flakes to the seasoning mix. These can be served as appetizers, snacks, or as a meal with a side salad.
