Garlic Parmesan New York Pizza Rolls are a delicious twist on classic pizza, featuring soft, rolled-up pizza dough filled with marinara sauce, mozzarella, and Parmesan cheese, topped with a flavorful garlic butter mixture. These rolls are baked to golden perfection, offering a savory, cheesy snack or appetizer perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Pizza Dough

  • 1 pound pizza dough (homemade or store-bought)

Filling

  • 1 cup marinara sauce
  • 1½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

Topping

  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
  • Remaining ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough: Start by rolling out your pizza dough into a large rectangle, approximately 12×16 inches, to provide ample space for layering the toppings evenly.
  2. Spread the Marinara: Evenly spread the marinara sauce over the surface of the rolled-out dough, leaving a small border around the edges to prevent spilling during baking.
  3. Add the Cheese: Generously sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the marinara sauce, then evenly distribute half of the grated Parmesan cheese on top.
  4. Roll it Up: Carefully roll the dough tightly into a log starting from one of the longer sides. Once rolled, slice the log into even pieces about 1-inch thick.
  5. Arrange the Rolls: Place the sliced rolls into a greased baking dish, arranging them snugly but ensuring they are not overcrowded to allow even cooking.
  6. Garlic Butter Topping: In a bowl, combine melted butter, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, and the remaining Parmesan cheese. Brush this flavorful mixture generously over each roll to enhance taste and aroma.
  7. Bake: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes, or until they turn golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and melted.
  8. Serve: Remove the rolls from the oven, garnish with freshly chopped parsley, and serve warm for the best cheesy, garlicky experience.

Notes

  • Ensure the dough is rolled evenly to guarantee consistent cooking of all rolls.
  • You can substitute Italian seasoning with a mix of dried oregano, basil, and thyme if preferred.
  • Use fresh mozzarella for a creamier texture, but shredded mozzarella works well for ease and quicker melting.
  • Allow the rolls to cool slightly before serving to avoid burns from the hot cheese.
  • These pizza rolls can be stored in an airtight container and reheated in the oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes.
