For the Rolls

  • 16-19 oz pizza dough see note
  • 8 mozzarella string cheese sticks or 32 Land O Lakes Creamy Italian Blend Cheese Cubes
  • ½ tablespoon milk or 1 egg
  • flaky salt optional

For the Garlic Herb Butter

To Serve

  • 1 slice cheese of choice mozzarella, provolone, cheddar
  • marinara sauce

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat oven to 400F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Using a knife or bench scraper, cut the cheese sticks into 1 inch pieces. Then, use a knife or bench scraper to divide the pizza dough into 32 pieces.
  • Use your fingers to press each piece of pizza dough into small rectangles. Add a chunk of cheese in the middle and wrap the dough around it.
  • Place dough balls seam side down on the prepared baking sheet and arrange them in the shape of a football.
  • Brush milk (or whisked egg) over the top of the dough balls. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt if using. Bake for 18 minutes, then broil for 2-3 minutes until golden.
  • In a medium bowl, mix melted butter, parmesan, garlic, parsley, basil, salt & pepper, then brush over the top of the rolls.
  • Cut the slice of cheese into 7 thin rectangles and arrange them on top of the rolls like football laces.
  • Serve with warm marinara sauce. Enjoy!

Notes

Try to use a pizza dough that doesn’t seem too sticky for easier handling.
