Ingredients
Scale
Pizza Roll Ingredients
- 1 package refrigerated pizza dough
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Dipping Sauce
- 1/2 cup marinara sauce (for dipping)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
- Prepare Dough: Roll out the refrigerated pizza dough on a clean surface into a rectangular shape. Use a brush to evenly coat the surface of the dough with the melted butter, which will help achieve a golden crisp texture and add rich flavor.
- Add Garlic and Parmesan: Sprinkle the minced garlic evenly over the buttered dough, then distribute the grated Parmesan cheese on top. These ingredients create a flavorful base layer that infuses the rolls with a savory, cheesy, and aromatic taste.
- Add Mozzarella Cheese: Evenly sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the garlic and Parmesan layer. This ensures every bite has a melty, creamy texture that complements the sharpness of the other cheeses.
- Roll and Slice: Carefully roll the dough tightly into a log shape, starting from one edge to the other, making sure to keep it firm so the filling doesn’t spill out. Once rolled, use a sharp knife to cut the dough into 1-inch thick slices to form the pizza rolls.
- Arrange Rolls: Place the individual pizza rolls on the prepared baking sheet, making sure to space them apart to allow even baking and browning on all sides.
- Bake: Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes until they are golden brown and crispy around the edges, indicating that they are cooked through and deliciously crunchy on the outside.
- Serve: Remove the pizza rolls from the oven and serve them warm with marinara sauce on the side for dipping to add a tangy and savory complement to the cheesy rolls.
Notes
- For extra flavor, you can add Italian seasoning or crushed red pepper flakes to the garlic butter layer before rolling.
- Use a sharp knife or dental floss to slice the rolled dough smoothly to avoid squishing the rolls.
- Serve immediately for best texture, as the rolls are crispest fresh out of the oven.
- Leftover pizza rolls can be reheated in the oven to maintain crispness; avoid microwaving to prevent sogginess.
- This recipe can be easily doubled for larger gatherings.
