Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
2. Roll the Dough:
-
On a floured surface, roll out pizza dough into a large rectangle (about 10×14 inches).

Layer cooked meat, cheese, onions, and any other fillings evenly across the surface.
-
Sprinkle with seasonings.
4. Roll It Up:

Starting from the long side, tightly roll up the dough like a jelly roll.

Pinch the seam and ends to seal.

Place seam-side down on the baking sheet.
5. Bake:

Brush the top with beaten egg for a golden crust.
-
Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
