- Season with Italian herbs, salt, and pepper.
- Starting from one end, carefully roll the dough up, making sure to keep the filling tucked in.
- Place the rolled dough seam-side down on a greased baking sheet.
Baking
- Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Remove from the oven, let it cool slightly, then slice and serve warm.
