Ingredients for Decadent Meatball-Stuffed Garlic Bread Rolls

Instructions

  1. 1 Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. 2 In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, Italian sausage, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, egg, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
  3. 3 Shape the meat mixture into small meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter. Place them on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes or until cooked through. Set aside to cool slightly.
  4. 4 Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface to about 1/4 inch thickness. Cut the dough into 12 squares.
  5. 5 Place a meatball and a generous sprinkle of mozzarella cheese in the center of each dough square. Fold the dough over the meatball and cheese, pinching the edges to seal and form a ball.
  6. 6 Arrange the stuffed dough balls seam-side down on the baking sheet. Brush the tops with melted butter mixed with minced garlic.
  7. 7 Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the bread rolls are golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly. Sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.

Serving Suggestions

  • These meatball-stuffed garlic bread rolls are a hearty meal on their own, but they pair beautifully with a simple side salad to balance the richness. For a truly indulgent experience, serve them with a side of marinara sauce for dipping. A crisp, cold beverage like a light beer or a sparkling water with a twist of lemon complements the savory flavors perfectly. Alternatively, a robust red wine like a Chianti or a full-bodied Zinfandel would elevate the experience to gourmet levels.

Storage Tips

Store any leftover rolls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes until warmed through. For best results, avoid microwaving as it may result in a soggy texture.
