Pizza Bouquet - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 (13 7/8 ounce) can pizza dough (Pillsbury)
    1/2 cup pizza sauce
    1/4 cup finely grated parmesan cheese
    3/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
    2 teaspoons italian seasoning
    10 ounces sliced pepperoni
    12 sprigs basil
    2 cups marinara sauce, for dipping
Preparation
    Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Unroll pizza dough onto work surface with the long side parallel to the edge of the counter. Cut into 12 equal strips, about 1 1/2-2 inches wide. Spread pizza sauce over dough, then sprinkle over parmesan cheese, mozzarella cheese and Italian seasoning.
    Working with one strip at a time, place 7-8 slices pepperoni down each strip of dough, overlapping slightly. The top of the pepperoni should stick out over the top of the dough. Roll the dough into a cylinder to look like a rose bud and transfer to a 12-well muffin tin with the pepperoni edge up.
    Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden and and crisp. To serve, place a skewer in the bottom of each pizza rose and tie together.
