Pizza swirls

This is really easy to get kid's help with making it!

Frozen bread dough, thawed (We used Rhodes brand)
1/2 cup pizza sauce
2 cups mozzarella cheese
1 package pepperoni, chopped
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese

Roll out the bread dough into a thin rectangle. Place a little of the pizza sauce on, then toppings. Roll up dough exactly like you would if you were making cinnamon rolls. Slice and place on greased baking pan/stone. Repeat until all ingredients are gone.
Bake on 375 degrees for 15ish minutes, or until they're starting to brown.
