Garlic Parmesan New York Pizza Rolls
Deliciously cheesy and garlicky rolls that bring the comfort of New York pizza into snack form, perfect for casual dining.
Ingredients
Dough and Sauce
- 1 pound pizza dough homemade or store-bought
- 1 cup marinara sauce for spreading
Cheese Toppings
- 1.5 cups shredded mozzarella cheese grating your own is recommended
- 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese divided for topping
Flavorings
- 2 cloves garlic, minced for brushing
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted for brushing
- 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning for flavor
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped for garnish
Instructions
Preparation
- Roll out your pizza dough into a large rectangle, about 12x16 inches.
- Spread the marinara sauce evenly over the rolled-out dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce, followed by half of the grated Parmesan.
- Carefully roll the dough into a tight log, starting from one of the longer sides and slice it into even pieces, roughly 1-inch thick.
Baking
- Place the sliced rolls into a greased baking dish snugly.
- In a bowl, mix the melted butter, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, and the remaining Parmesan cheese together.
- 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 golden brown and bubbly.
- Remove from the oven, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve warm.
Notes
Don’t panic if your slices look uneven, that's character. Brush more butter for a glossy finish. Allow the dough to rest before slicing to help the structure. Great with punchy sides or as a standalone snack.
