Ingredients
Garlic Butter
- 2 tbsp butter (melted)
- 2 garlic cloves (minced)
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley (finely chopped)
Tomato Sauce Base
- 3 tbsp tomato sauce
- 3 tbsp ketchup
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
Main Ingredients
- 1 pack Sister Schubert’s Parker House Style Yeast Rolls (thawed overnight)
- 1 cup marble cheese (shredded)
- 1 Polish sausage (diced)
- ¼ red onion (finely diced)
Instructions
- Make the garlic butter: In a small bowl, mix together the melted butter, minced garlic, and finely chopped parsley. Set this flavorful mixture aside to brush on the rolls later.
- Prepare the sauce: Combine the tomato sauce, ketchup, and Italian seasoning in another bowl. Stir well to create a zesty tomato base for the pizza rolls.
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
- Shape the rolls: Place the thawed yeast rolls spaced out on the prepared tray. Gently press down the center of each roll to form a small well, leaving the edges raised to form a deep dish-like crust.
- Assemble: Brush each roll with the garlic parsley butter, then spoon the tomato sauce mixture into the wells. Top each with shredded marble cheese, diced Polish sausage, and finely diced red onion for the perfect combination of flavors.
- Bake: Bake the prepared rolls in the preheated oven for 18 to 20 minutes, or until they are golden brown, bubbly, and slightly crispy at the edges. Remove and allow to cool slightly before serving.
Notes
- Thaw the yeast rolls overnight in the refrigerator for best results.
- Feel free to substitute Polish sausage with pepperoni or cooked ground beef if preferred.
- For a spicier kick, add red pepper flakes to the tomato sauce mixture.
- Use a combination of cheeses like mozzarella and cheddar for a different flavor profile.
- Ensure rolls are not overcrowded on the baking tray to allow even baking.
