Instructions

Preheat: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Prepare the Dough: On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a 12×16-inch rectangle. Brush the entire surface with olive oil and sprinkle evenly with the minced garlic.
Add the Fillings: Spread the marinara sauce over the dough, leaving a small border (about ½ inch) on all sides. Evenly distribute the shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan over the sauce. Sprinkle the dried oregano, and season with salt and pepper.
Roll Up: Starting from the longer side, tightly roll up the dough into a log.
Slice: Using a sharp knife, cut the roll into 1-inch thick slices and arrange them cut side up on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15–20 minutes, or until the rolls are golden and the cheese is bubbly.
Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven, sprinkle with chopped fresh basil (if using), and serve warm.

Notes

For an extra touch of flavor, add a pinch of red pepper flakes with the garlic.
• If you prefer a crispier exterior, brush a little more olive oil on the rolls before baking.
• These rolls are best enjoyed fresh from the oven but can be reheated in a 350°F oven for a few minutes.
