Ingredients
- 1 pound pizza dough – Homemade or store-bought for convenience.
- 1 cup marinara sauce – For a flavorful base.
- 1½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese – For gooey, cheesy perfection.
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese – Divided; adds savory depth.
- 2 cloves garlic, minced – Enhances the garlic butter topping.
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted – For the buttery garlic topping.
- 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning – Adds a blend of herbs.
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped – For garnish.
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Dough
Roll out the pizza dough into a large rectangle, about 12×16 inches. Spread the marinara sauce evenly across the surface, leaving a small border around the edges.
Step 2: Add Cheese
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and half of the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the marinara sauce.
Step 3: Roll and Slice
Carefully roll the dough tightly into a log, similar to a cinnamon roll. Slice the log into 1-inch rolls and place them in a greased 9×13-inch baking dish.
Step 4: Make the Garlic Butter Topping
In a small bowl, mix the melted butter, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, and the remaining Parmesan cheese. Brush this mixture generously over the top of the pizza rolls.
Step 5: Bake
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden and bubbly.
Step 6: Garnish and Serve
Once baked, sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley for a touch of color and serve warm. Enjoy the cheesy, garlicky goodness!
Notes
- Serve with extra marinara sauce for dipping.
- For a spicy kick, sprinkle crushed red pepper flakes over the rolls before baking.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven for the best texture.
