Stuffed Pizza Rolls

*My thoughts: Good and fun meal, especially for kids.

Stuffed Pizza Rolls
Recipe from OurBestBites.com

1 Roll refrigerated pizza dough (or options here for homemade)
Marinara/pizza sauce
2 Tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
1 Tablespoons olive oil or melted butter
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
Mozzerella cheese
Pizza toppings of your choice (ham and pineapple, pepperoni slices, sausage, etc.)

Preheat oven to heat specified on pizza dough package. (Usually it's 400 degrees.)

Unroll your pizza dough onto a lightly floured surface. Pat or roll the dough so it's about 12" by 8". You're going to want to cut it into 24 squares, so just eyeball it if you need to. Use a pizza cutter to slice the dough into 24 squares.

Place cheese and desired toppings on each square. (Note that you're not putting the marinara sauce on the dough- it's for dipping after.)

When all of your dough squares have cheese and toppings on them, carefully lift up each square and wrap the dough around the toppings. Pinch to make sure each ball is sealed shut and then place them seam side down in a lightly sprayed pie pan (or similar sized dish).

Brush the tops of the dough balls with olive oil or melted butter, then sprinkle with the garlic and Italian seasoning, and top with Parmesan cheese. (In lieu of the Parmesan, garlic, and Italian seasoning you could substitute any garlic bread seasoning.)

Cook them in the oven for about 15-20 minutes or until golden brown on top. Keep an eye on them! Doughs vary, so I'd check them after even 10 minutes.

Serve warm with warmed marinara sauce on the side for dipping.
