This is an awesome after school snack. I love making it, just so that I can have some. It’s just enough to fill the kids up until dinner time. Especially if we are going to be having a late dinner because of baseball or softball games, or some other extracurricular that my kids always have to sign up for. Even my husband likes when I make these because he knows he will make it though the game without having to fill up on junk food from the concession stand. Check out what they are saying about this recipe over at The Pioneer Woman:
“What a great idea for something a little different than pizza for supper.”
Not that we ever get tired of pizza, but if we want something a little different, this does the job.
Ingredients
1 whole Pillsbury Pizza Crust (or You Can Use Thawed Frozen Bread Dough!)
Olive Oil
Salt And Pepper, to taste
Ragu Marinara Sauce
Kraft Grated Parmesan Cheese
Sliced Mozzarella Cheese
Jarred Pesto
String Cheese
Other Optional Ingredients: Pepperoni, Cooked Italian Sausage, Olives, Onions, Etc.
Extra Marinara Sauce, For Dipping
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Roll out the pizza dough onto a floured surface until it’s a large rectangle. Smear with a little olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Spread the surface with marinara sauce, then sprinkle generously with Parmesan. Lay a couple of layers of mozzarella slices all over the sauce. Smear pesto all over the cheese. Lay on any other pizza ingredients (pepperoni, etc.) that you’d like.
Unwrap string cheese and lay it in a line at the top of the dough. Roll it toward you so that the string cheese winds up in the middle of the roll of dough. Slice into 1 inch pieces and place in a baking dish or iron skillet. Allow the rolls to rise for 20 minutes.
Bake for 15 minutes, until the bread is golden and the fillings are bubbly. Remove and serve immediately with extra marinara sauce.
