Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ½ cups (310 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon instant yeast
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (240 ml) warm water (about 110°F/43°C)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 ½ cups (170 g) shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ½ cup (60 g) grated Parmesan cheese
  • ½ cup (120 ml) pizza sauce
  • ½ cup (75 g) finely chopped pepperoni or cooked Italian sausage (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1 cup (240 ml) canned crushed tomatoes
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small garlic clove, minced
  • ½ teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh basil leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Make the dough: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, instant yeast, sugar, and salt. Add warm water and olive oil. Stir until dough starts to come together, then knead by hand on a floured surface for 8-10 minutes or in a stand mixer with dough hook for 5-6 minutes until soft and slightly tacky but not sticky. Cover and let rest for 45 minutes until doubled in size.
  2. Prepare the filling: Mix shredded mozzarella, Parmesan, pizza sauce, chopped pepperoni or sausage if using, Italian seasoning, and minced garlic in a bowl. Adjust seasoning if needed.
  3. Roll out the dough: Punch down the risen dough and roll it into a 12×9 inch rectangle on a floured surface, keeping it thick enough to hold filling.
  4. Assemble the rolls: Spread filling evenly over dough leaving a small border. Roll dough tightly from the long side into a log. Slice into 12 equal pieces.
  5. Arrange and bake: Place rolls cut-side up on parchment-lined baking sheet spaced 1 inch apart. Cover loosely and proof for 15 minutes. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake rolls for 18-22 minutes until golden and bubbly.
  6. Make the marinara dip: Heat olive oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook 30 seconds until fragrant. Add crushed tomatoes and oregano. Simmer for 10 minutes, seasoning with salt and pepper. Stir in fresh basil if using.
  7. Serve immediately: Let rolls cool a few minutes and serve warm with marinara dip. Pull apart while warm for best stretchy cheese pull.

Notes

Use whole milk mozzarella for best stretchiness. Do not overload filling with sauce to avoid soggy dough. Knead dough well for chewy texture. Let rolls proof after shaping for lighter texture. Watch baking time closely to avoid burning; tent with foil if browning too fast. Marinara dip can be made while rolls bake. Rolls can be refrigerated before baking or frozen unbaked for later use.
