Cheesy Basil and Prosciutto Pizza Rolls

Not only are these pizza rolls delicious, they're also super easy to make. Just roll out a ball of dough, top it with marinara sauce, prosciutto, mozzarella, and basil, roll it up, and cut into 1-inch-thick rolls. Then, arrange them on a foil-lined baking sheet and bake them in the oven until they're golden brown. Pro tip: Serve these rolls with ramekins of marinara sauce and ranch dressing for dipping.

Equipment

  • Rolling Pin
  • large rimmed baking sheet
  • pastry brush

Ingredients

  • 1 (14- to 16-ounce) ball pizza dough
  • Extra-virgin olive oil
  • ½ cup super-easy marinara sauce (or your favorite pizza sauce), plus more for dipping
  • 4 slices prosciutto
  • ⅔ cup shredded low-moisture mozzarella cheese
  • 1 handful fresh basil leaves, torn
  • Fine sea salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • ½ cup grated parmesan cheese
  • Ranch dressing, for dipping (optional)

Instructions

  • Line a heavy-duty rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
  • On a lightly floured work surface, roll out to dough into a 9 x 12-inch rectangle.
  • Brush the dough with a little olive oil, then spread the sauce evenly, leaving a ½-inch border of dough all around. Lay the prosciutto slices on top of the sauce and sprinkle on the mozzarella and basil.  Season with a little salt and pepper. Starting from a long side, roll the rectangle into a long, tight log (about 12 inches in length).
  • Place the log on the prepared baking sheet and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes or until chilled through.
  • Preheat the oven to 375°F.
  • Remove the log from the fridge and cut it crosswise into twelve 1-inch-thick rolls, using a serrated knife. Arrange the rolls cut-side up on the baking sheet (it’s OK if they touch).
  • Sprinkle the rolls with the Parmesan cheese and bake for 20 to 30 minutes or until the cheese has melted and the rolls are puffy and golden brown.
  • Remove the rolls from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes. Serve warm with extra pizza sauce and/or ranch dressing for dipping.
