Method

1. Put the flour in a bowl and add the salt, oil, and powdered milk, rubbing the ingredients together with your hands.
2. Put the yeast in a cup with the sugar and a little water, stir and let it activate, then add it to the flour and knead.
3. Cover the dough with a cloth and let it rise for one hour.
4. Roll out the risen dough on a clean surface and cut it into long narrow strips — remember you will be rolling them, so make them thin so the rose isn’t too thick.
5. Spread about 1 tsp ketchup lengthwise on each dough strip.
6. Place 3 slices of pepperoni side by side so the edges stick out beyond the dough.
7. Sprinkle mozzarella over the pepperoni and a pinch of oregano, then roll up to form a rose shape — see the photo.
8. Secure with a toothpick and brush with melted butter or oil.
9. Arrange the roses on a lightly oiled baking tray.
10. Bake in a hot oven until the pepperoni pizzas are cooked through.
