Garlic Parmesan Pizza Rolls

If garlic knots and pizza had a baby these would be it.

Fill with sauce, cheese, and your favorite pizza meat (ours is pepperoni).

How to Make Pizza Rolls

After making the dough, divide it into 12 balls.

Press each ball until flat and round. Spoon 1 tsp. pizza sauce in the center and sprinkle with 1 tsp. cheese. Add two slices of pepperoni. Watch our video for step by step instructions.

• Do not press the dough too thin or the filling may come out during baking.
• Do not over fill the rolls. Just a little dab of sauce will do ya!

Bring the edges to the center and pinch to close. Place each pizza roll seam side down on a greased baking sheet.

What makes these pizza rolls amazing is the garlic parmesan butter that they are brushed with BEFORE and AFTER baking.

Notes

Dough: It's always better to add less flour than what you need and then add more as necessary. If the dough is too sticky add another 1/2 c. of flour. 

Tips:

Do not make the rolls too thin when flattening the dough. This may cause the sauce to leak through during baking.

Do not over fill pizza rolls with sauce and cheese. A little bit goes a long way.
