Step-by-Step Instructions for Pizza Roses
- Roll out your pizza dough onto a lightly floured surface until it reaches about 1/4-inch thickness. Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, slice the dough into 2-inch wide strips.
- Take your favorite marinara sauce and spread a thin layer evenly across each strip of dough using a spatula or the back of a spoon. Leave about 1/2 inch at the top edge without sauce to help seal the pizza roses as you roll.
- Sprinkle a generous layer of mozzarella cheese over the sauce, followed by your preferred fillings like pepperoni or vegetables. Layer the ingredients evenly to ensure every bite is delicious.
- Starting at the bottom of each strip, gently roll the dough upwards towards the top edge, forming a tight spiral. Pinch the edge to seal it.
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Carefully place your formed pizza roses upright in a greased muffin tin. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and bubbling.
- Remove the muffin tin from the oven and let the pizza roses sit for 5 minutes to cool slightly. Carefully lift them out and serve warm.
