Ingredients
- 1 13.8 oz tube refrigerated pizza dough
- 1/2 cup marinara sauce
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Your choice of pizza toppings e.g., pepperoni, cooked sausage, bell peppers, onions, mushrooms
- 1 egg beaten (for egg wash)
- Italian seasoning for sprinkling
- Garlic powder for sprinkling
- Pizza dipping sauce for serving (optional)
Instructions
Step-by-Step Instructions:
Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
Prepare the Pizza Dough:
- Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface into a rectangle, about 12x8 inches in size.
Spread the Marinara Sauce:
- Spread the marinara sauce evenly over the surface of the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
Add the Toppings:
- Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the marinara sauce, followed by your desired pizza toppings. Be careful not to overfill the dough to prevent it from tearing when rolled.
Roll Up the Dough:
- Starting from one of the long edges, carefully roll up the dough into a tight log, like a jelly roll.
Slice the Roll:
- Use a sharp knife to slice the rolled dough into approximately 1-inch thick pieces.
Arrange on Baking Sheet:
- Place the pizza rolls on the prepared baking sheet, seam side down, leaving some space between each roll.
Brush with Egg Wash:
- Brush the tops of the pizza rolls with the beaten egg to give them a golden brown color when baked.
Season and Bake:
- Sprinkle the tops of the pizza rolls with Italian seasoning and garlic powder for extra flavor.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Serve Hot:
- Remove the pizza rolls from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
- Serve the pizza rolls with pizza dipping sauce on the side, if desired.
Notes
Tips:
- Customize the toppings to suit your preferences. You can use classic pizza toppings like pepperoni and mushrooms, or get creative with your favorite ingredients.
- For a crispier crust, brush the tops of the pizza rolls with olive oil instead of egg wash before baking.
- Leftover pizza rolls can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave before serving.
