Preparation

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
2. Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface into a rectangle, about 1/4 inch thick.
3. In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, minced garlic, grated Parmesan cheese, dried oregano, dried basil, dried parsley, salt, and pepper to make the garlic butter spread.
4. Spread the garlic butter mixture evenly over the surface of the rolled-out dough.
5. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the garlic butter mixture, leaving a small border around the edges.
6. Spoon the pizza sauce over the cheese in a thin layer, spreading it evenly with the back of the spoon.
7. Starting from one long edge, tightly roll the dough into a log, sealing the seam and ends.
8. Using a sharp knife, slice the dough into 1-inch thick rolls and place them in the prepared baking dish, with the cut side facing up.

Baking

1. If desired, sprinkle additional grated Parmesan cheese over the tops of the rolls for extra flavor.
2. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the rolls are golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
3. Remove from the oven and let the rolls cool slightly before serving.
