Instructions

Preheat and Prepare Baking Dish: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9-inch round baking dish or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
Roll Out Dough: On a lightly floured surface, roll out the refrigerated pizza dough into a rectangle approximately 10 by 14 inches, ensuring an even thickness.
Add Sauce and Seasonings: Evenly spread ½ cup of pizza sauce over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning evenly over the sauce.
Roll and Slice: Starting from one of the long sides, tightly roll the dough into a log shape. Using a sharp knife, slice the rolled log into 10 to 12 equal pieces.
Arrange in Baking Dish: Place the slices cut side up in the prepared baking dish, arranging them close but not touching.
Brush with Butter: Brush the tops of the rolls with melted butter to help them brown beautifully during baking.
Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 18 to 22 minutes, until the rolls are golden brown and bubbly.
Cool and Garnish: Remove from the oven and let the rolls cool for 5 minutes. Optionally, garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

Add your favorite toppings like mini pepperoni, chopped olives, or cooked sausage inside the roll before baking for extra flavor.
Serve these rolls warm with extra marinara sauce or ranch dressing for dipping.
For a crispier crust, brush the baking dish edges with a little olive oil before placing the rolls.
Make sure to let the rolls cool slightly to avoid burns from hot cheese.
