For the Dough

• In the bowl of a stand mixer, whisk together 3/4 cup warm water, 1 tablespoon granulated sugar, and 1 1/2 teaspoons active dry yeast until combined.
• Add 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour and 1/2 teaspoon saltand use the dough hook to mix on medium speed until the dough comes together. Add more flour as necessary to achieve a soft dough that is tacky, but doesn't stick to your hands. Alternatively, you can mix the dough and knead it by hand.
• Transfer the dough to a lightly greased bowl, cover, and let it rise until double in size, about 1 hour.
• Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured clean countertop and roll it into a 12-inch by 18-inch rectangle.
• Preheat your oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Spread a thin layer of 1/3 cup pizza sauce on the dough, leaving about a 1-inch border around the edges. Top with 1/2 pound sliced Italian cold cuts or pepperoni, then sprinkle with 1 to 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, and 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning.
• Roll up the dough lengthwise, in the style of a cinnamon roll. Using a serrated knife, slice the roll into twelve 1 1/2-inch pieces and transfer to the parchment-lined baking sheet.
• In a small bowl, stir 1/4 cup of melted butter together with 1 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1 teaspoon dried parsley until combined. Brush this mixture onto the tops of the rolls.
• Bake the rolls in the preheated 400 degree oven for approximately 14 minutes, or until they're lightly browned on top.
• Serve hot, with additional pizza sauce on the side if desired.
