How to Make Garlic Parmesan New York Pizza Rolls
Ingredients
- 1 pound pizza dough (homemade or store-bought)
- 1 cup marinara sauce
- 1½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Directions
- Start by rolling out your pizza dough into a large rectangle. Aim for about 12×16 inches to ensure you have enough space to layer your toppings.
- Next, evenly spread the marinara sauce over the rolled-out dough. Make sure to leave a small border around the edges to prevent any messy spills during baking.
- Generously sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the marinara sauce, followed by half of the grated Parmesan.
- Carefully roll the dough into a tight log, starting from one of the longer sides. Once rolled, slice it into even pieces, roughly 1-inch thick.
- Place the sliced rolls into a greased baking dish. Make sure they’re arranged snugly but not overly crowded.
- In a bowl, mix melted butter, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, and the remaining Parmesan cheese. Brush this mixture generously over each roll.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes, or until they turn golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
- Remove the rolls from the oven, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve warm. Enjoy the cheesy, garlicky goodness!
