Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet with 1 tbsp olive oil.
  2. Step 2: In a skillet over medium-high heat, add 1 tbsp olive oil and 8 oz ground beef. Season with 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp dried Italian herbs, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Cook for 6-8 minutes, breaking up the beef until browned and cooked through. Drain excess fat and set aside to cool slightly.
  3. Step 3: Roll out 1 lb pizza dough on a lightly floured surface into a 12x14-inch rectangle. Spread 1/2 cup pizza sauce evenly over the dough, then sprinkle 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese across the surface.
  4. Step 4: Evenly distribute the cooked ground beef over the cheese layer. Starting from the long edge, tightly roll the dough into a log shape.
  5. Step 5: Using a sharp knife, slice the log into 12 equal 1-inch thick scrolls. Place the scrolls cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet, spaced slightly apart.
  6. Step 6: Sprinkle 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese over the scrolls. Bake for 15-18 minutes until golden brown and cheese is melted and bubbly.
  7. Step 7: Remove from oven and cool 5 minutes before serving warm.
