Stuffed Pizza Rolls

For two people who do not like pizza (myself and Jesse) we sure did scarf down these rolls! Even though I know Jesse hates pizza, I still wanted to give these a try since they were something different. I'm glad I did cause we all really liked them.

What's nice about recipes like this is that you can do whatever you want with it. The girl I got this from stuffed hers with pepperoni and mozzarella. Since I despise pepperoni, I stuffed mine with sausage crumbles and mozzarella cubes (I got the Jimmy Dean pre-cooked crumbles to make things easier), and they were awesome.

If you really want to get fancy you could chop up some green pepper and onion and toss that in...it's really just personal preference. One thing though...whatever cheese you decide to go with, whether it be mozzarella or cheddar, I highly recommend buying a little block of it and cutting it into cubes. It's a heck of a lot less messier than using shredded cheese. Unless you're looking to use up some shredded cheese you have lying around. In that case, it would makes sense.

Ingredients

1 roll refrigerated pizza dough

marinara sauce 

3 Tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

1 Tablespoon melted butter

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning

8-12 ounces mozzarella cheese, diced or grated

Pizza toppings of your choice

(ham, pineapple, pepperoni slices, sausage, etc.)

Directions

1. Heat oven to 425 degrees and lightly spray a baking dish or large pie plate.

2. Unroll pizza onto a lightly floured surface and press into a large rectangle. Cut rectangle into 12 squares. Place sausage and 2 cheese cubes (or desired toppings) into the center of each square. Gather the four corners up and pinch closed to create a ball. Place each ball seam side down in the baking dish. Repeat with the remaining 11 squares.

3. In a small dish stir melted butter, garlic powder, and Italian seasonings together. Brush tops of rolls with melted butter mixture, then sprinkle Parmesan cheese evenly over rolls.

4. Bake for 15-18 minutes or until rolls are golden brown. Serve with warm marinara sauce for dipping.
