Ingredients
Scale
Cheese and Main Ingredients:
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 pound (lb) pizza dough
Flavor Enhancers:
- 2 cloves garlic, finely minced
- 1 cup marinara sauce
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
Garnish (Optional):
- Fresh basil leaves, chopped
Instructions
- Warm the oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a parchment-lined baking sheet for the pizza rolls.
- Dust a clean surface with flour and stretch the pizza dough into a rectangular shape approximately 12×16 inches.
- Drizzle olive oil across the entire dough surface, then generously scatter minced garlic for an aromatic base.
- Spread marinara sauce evenly, maintaining a small border around the edges to prevent leakage during rolling.
- Layer shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheese over the sauce, creating a rich, melty foundation.
- Sprinkle dried oregano, then season with salt and pepper to enhance the flavor profile.
- Carefully roll the dough from the longer side, creating a tight, compact log with all ingredients enclosed.
- Using a sharp knife, slice the rolled dough into 1-inch thick rounds, positioning them cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until the rolls transform into a golden-brown, cheese-bubbling delicacy.
- Once removed from the oven, optionally garnish with freshly chopped basil and serve while warm for maximum enjoyment.
Notes
- Dough Tip: Use room temperature pizza dough for easier rolling and better texture.
- Cheese Selection: Mix different cheeses like provolone or fontina for more complex flavor profile.
- Gluten-Free Option: Substitute regular pizza dough with gluten-free dough or cauliflower crust for dietary restrictions.
- Cutting Hack: Use dental floss or unflavored thread to slice rolls cleanly and evenly without crushing the dough.
