Ingredients

Pizza Dough and Sauce

  • 1 pound pizza dough (homemade or store-bought)
  • 1 cup marinara sauce

Cheese

  • 1½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Garlic Butter Topping

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning

Garnish

  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough: Roll out the pizza dough into a large rectangle approximately 12 by 16 inches to create a base for layering the toppings.
  2. Spread the Marinara: Evenly spread the marinara sauce over the rolled-out dough, leaving a small border around the edges to prevent spills during baking.
  3. Add the Cheese: Generously sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the marinara, then add half of the grated Parmesan cheese on top.
  4. Roll it Up: Carefully roll the dough starting from one long side into a tight log; slice into 12 even pieces about 1 inch thick each.
  5. Arrange the Rolls: Place the sliced rolls into a greased baking dish snugly but without crowding them to ensure even baking.
  6. Garlic Butter Topping: Mix melted butter, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, and the remaining Parmesan cheese in a bowl; brush this mixture generously over each roll.
  7. Bake: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
  8. Serve: Remove from the oven, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve warm for the best cheesy, garlicky experience.

Notes

  • Use Fresh Dough: Fresh dough ensures the rolls stay soft and fluffy after baking.
  • Don’t Overfill: Avoid too much sauce or cheese to prevent the rolls from falling apart.
  • Even Slices: Cutting uniform slices promotes even baking throughout all rolls.
  • Extra Garlic Butter: For added flavor, brush extra garlic butter on the rolls after baking.
