Pizza Rolls

These just might be the best melt-in-your-mouth-ness ever. ;) So good. They're like breadsticks/rolls with gooey cheese and pizza toppings inside. And you dip them in your favorite marinara/pizza sauce. So delish. :) My husband went ga-ga over them and the kiddos loved them. I made them with my pizza dough recipe and they turned out fabulous! Serves 4-6. Enjoy!

Pizza Rolls

Dough for 1 pizza (or 1 can refrigerated pizza dough)
marinara or pizza sauce
2 Tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
1 Tbsp olive oil or melted butter
1/2 tsp garlic salt
2 tsp dried Italian seasoning (or dried basil & oregano)
mozzarella cheese
pizza toppings of your choice
pizza or marinara sauce, warmed

Preheat oven specified on pizza dough package or recipe.
With a rolling pin, flatten pizza dough until it's about 12" by 8". Use a pizza cutter to slice dough into 24 squares.
Place cheese and toppings on each square (NOT marinara or pizza sauce), just a little bit so you can enclose the toppings in each square. Carefully lift each square and wrap the dough around the toppings, pinching until completely shut. Place pinched-side down in lightly greased pie pan (or something similar). Brush tops of each ball with olive oil or melted butter then sprinkle with Italian seasonings and top with Parmesan cheese.
 Bake in preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown on top. Check often so they do not burn. Serve with warm marinara or pizza sauce for dipping.
