Equipment

  • Oven
  • Baking sheet
  • Knife
  • Cutting board
  • Spoon

Ingredients
  

  • 20 dinner rolls
  • 3 cups ready-made tomato sauce
  • 11 ounces buffalo mozzarella
  • 4 sprigs fresh rosemary
  • Extra-virgin olive oil
  • Salt
  • Black pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F to get it ready for pizzette magic.
  • Prep the Rolls: Slice each dinner roll in half and place them cut-side up on a baking sheet.
  • Add the Sauce: Spoon a layer of tomato sauce over each roll half, just enough to cover the surface.
  • Top with Mozzarella: Cut the mozzarella into small cubes. Add about 2 teaspoons of cheese to the center of each pizzetta.
  • Season and Bake: Sprinkle with rosemary, a pinch of salt, and a bit of black pepper. Bake for about 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and slightly bubbly. Keep an eye on them—some ovens run hot.
  • Finish and Serve: Pull them out, drizzle each one with a little olive oil, and serve immediately while hot and delicious.
