Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound pizza dough (homemade or store-bought)
- 1 cup marinara sauce
- 1½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare the Dough: Start by rolling out your pizza dough into a large rectangle. Aim for about 12×16 inches to ensure you have enough space to layer your toppings.
- Spread the Marinara: Next, evenly spread the marinara sauce over the rolled-out dough. Make sure to leave a small border around the edges to prevent any messy spills during baking.
- Add the Cheese: Generously sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the marinara sauce, followed by half of the grated Parmesan.
- Roll it Up: Carefully roll the dough into a tight log, starting from one of the longer sides. Once rolled, slice it into even pieces, roughly 1-inch thick.
- Arrange the Rolls: Place the sliced rolls into a greased baking dish. Make sure they’re arranged snugly but not overly crowded.
- Garlic Butter Topping: In a bowl, mix melted butter, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, and the remaining Parmesan cheese. Brush this mixture generously over each roll.
- Bake: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes, or until they turn golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
- Serve: Remove the rolls from the oven, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve warm. Enjoy the cheesy, garlicky goodness!
Notes
- Use Fresh Dough: Fresh dough ensures the rolls are soft and fluffy.
- Don’t Overfill: Too much sauce or cheese can cause the rolls to fall apart
- Even Slices: Uniform slices ensure even baking.
- Extra Garlic Butter: Brush extra garlic butter after baking for added flavor.
