# Expert Advice:
01 -
- They come together faster than delivery arrives, and nobody believes you started with refrigerated dough
- The beef pepperoni adds this incredible depth that regular pepperoni just cant match
02 -
- Dont skip letting the dough come to room temperature or it will fight you the entire time
- Seal that seam really well, I learned this when cheese leaked all over my baking sheet and smoked up the whole kitchen
03 -
- Use unflavored dental floss to cut the log, it slices through perfectly without squishing the dough
- If the rolls are browning too fast, tent a piece of foil over the baking sheet for the last five minutes
