Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Pizza dough
- 2 cups Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1 cup Provolone cheese, shredded
- 1 cup Italian sausage, cooked and crumbled
- 0.5 cup Pepperoni, chopped
- 0.25 cup Black olives, chopped
- 1 cup Marinara sauce
- 2 tablespoons Fresh basil, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 piece Egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese, grated
- 0.25 cup Flour (for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a large rectangle, approximately 12x16 inches.
Spread a thin, even layer of marinara sauce over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and provolone cheeses evenly across the sauce.
Add the cooked and crumbled Italian sausage, chopped pepperoni, and chopped black olives in an even layer over the cheese.
Sprinkle the filling with chopped fresh basil, dried oregano, and garlic powder for added flavor.
Starting from one of the longer edges, tightly roll the dough into a log, ensuring the filling stays inside.
Pinch the seam and ends of the dough to seal the roll completely.
Slice the log into 1-inch-thick pieces using a sharp knife, creating individual pizza rolls.
Place the pizza rolls cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
Brush the tops and edges of the rolls with the beaten egg to create a golden-brown crust when baked.
Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese on top of each roll for an extra cheesy burst of flavor.
Bake the pizza rolls in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until the dough is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Allow the rolls to cool slightly on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve warm with extra marinara sauce on the side for dipping, if desired.
