Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups marinara sauce, divided (1 cup for filling, 1 cup for dipping)
  • 1 (13.25 oz) package puff pastry, thawed if frozen
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese blend
  • 1/2 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese, divided
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat Your Oven

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure the puff pastry bakes to a perfect golden-brown.

Step 2: Prepare Marinara Sauce

  • Divide the marinara sauce into two portions: 1 cup for the filling and 1 cup for dipping.

Step 3: Roll Out the Puff Pastry

  • On a lightly floured surface, roll out the thawed puff pastry into a smooth rectangular shape. This will help you cut it into even strips later.

Step 4: Create the Cheese Mixture

  • In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of shredded mozzarella with ¼ cup of Parmesan cheese.

Step 5: Apply the Sauce

  • Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce over the rolled-out puff pastry, being careful not to add too much to avoid soggy pastry.

Step 6: Add the Cheese Mixture

  • Sprinkle the mozzarella and Parmesan mixture evenly over the sauce.

Step 7: Add Seasoning

  • Sprinkle garlic powder, dried basil, oregano, and red pepper flakes over the cheese layer to enhance the flavors.

Step 8: Roll and Slice

  • Roll the puff pastry tightly from one end to the other to form a log.
  • Use a serrated knife to slice the log into 1-inch thick rounds.

Step 9: Prepare the Baking Sheet

  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly grease it to prevent sticking.

Step 10: Brush and Sprinkle

  • Place the rolls cut side up on the baking sheet. Brush them with olive oil and sprinkle the remaining Parmesan cheese over the top.

Step 11: Bake

  • Bake the rolls for 20–25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and the cheese is bubbling.

Step 12: Serve

  • Let the rolls cool for a few minutes, then serve them warm with the reserved marinara sauce on the side for dipping.

Notes

  • Avoid Overfilling: Too much filling can cause the rolls to burst open during baking.
  • Thaw Puff Pastry Properly: Follow package instructions for thawing; cold but pliable pastry works best.
  • Cut Evenly: Use a serrated knife for clean cuts and to maintain the shape of the rolls.
  • Reheat with Care: Reheat in an oven for crispiness, as microwaving can make them soggy.
  • Customize Fillings: Experiment with your favorite pizza toppings like pepperoni, mushrooms, or bell peppers.
