Step 4: Prepare for Baking
Prepare Egg Wash: In a small bowl, whisk together 1 egg and 1 Tbsp water to create an egg wash. Brush this mixture over the tops of the pizza rolls. This will give them a golden, shiny finish.
Sprinkle with Salt: Lightly sprinkle the tops with kosher salt and 1/4 tsp garlic powder for extra flavor.
Add Parmesan and Parsley: Sprinkle the remaining 1 Tbsp Parmesan cheese and a little minced parsley over the top of each roll for a finishing touch.
Step 5: Bake the Pizza Rolls
Bake: Place the pizza rolls in the preheated oven and bake for 18-22 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Cool and Serve: Once baked, remove the pizza rolls from the oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes. Garnish with more fresh parsley, if desired. Serve warm with marinara sauce on the side for dipping.
Cooking Tips:
Use Cold Dough: Cold pizza dough is easier to work with. If you are using store-bought dough, let it sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes before rolling it out.
Prevent Sticking: To prevent the dough from sticking to your work surface, use flour or parchment paper while rolling out the dough.
Customize Your Fillings: Feel free to get creative with the fillings. You can substitute the meats for turkey, prosciutto, or even vegetables like sautéed mushrooms or spinach.
Make Ahead: These pizza rolls can be assembled ahead of time. Just wrap the uncooked rolls in plastic wrap and store them in the fridge for up to 24 hours before baking.
Storage:
Refrigeration: Store any leftover pizza rolls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat them in the oven or microwave before serving.
