Inspired by What about Pie!
Yes. I used to get these from a small pizza place in Nashville TN. They had marinara sauce. They were out of this world delicious! I can’t imagine them not having the sauce.
That sounds delicious Ron! Hope you enjoy these ones too!
Do you think putting marinara or pizza sauce on the dough prior to baking would turn out ok? With bread dough I was wandering if it would make it raw.
I haven’t tried it so I can’t say for sure if it would make the bread soggy. If you do try, please let us know how it works out for you!
serve heated sauce for dipping!
I have been making these for years & with sausage or ham also. Endless possibilities.
You can make ahead & par bake too & finish heating before serving. I do close my ends tho.
Great for parties.
Will this pizza roll recipe work if I make fresh dough in my bread machine? I find it much less expensive to make my own dough, versus buying the frozen kinds.
Definitely!! It would be delicious with homemade dough!
