Ingredients
1 sheet refrigerated pizza dough
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
½ cup grated parmesan cheese
½ cup mini pepperoni or ½ cup cooked crumbled sausage (optional)
3 tablespoons garlic butter (plus more for brushing)
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
Marinara, ranch, or pizza sauce for dipping (optional)
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a muffin tin or line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Roll the pizza dough out onto a floured surface into a large rectangle, about ¼ inch thick.
3. Brush the dough with garlic butter, making sure to coat it evenly.
4. Sprinkle mozzarella and parmesan evenly over the surface.
5. Add pepperoni or sausage if using, then a pinch of Italian seasoning.
6. Starting from the long edge, roll the dough tightly into a log.
7. Slice into 1-inch pieces using a sharp knife or unflavored dental floss.
8. Arrange rolls cut side up in prepared muffin tin or on the baking sheet, leaving space between.
9. Bake for 15–18 minutes or until golden brown and bubbly.
10. Remove from oven and immediately brush with more garlic butter.
11. Sprinkle with chopped parsley and extra parmesan.
12. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
Notes
For the crispiest edges, use a muffin tin and don’t overcrowd the pan.
Let the rolls cool for a few minutes before serving so the cheese sets slightly.
Want a little spice? Add red pepper flakes inside the roll or to the garlic butter.
