Italian rolls with mozzarella topcook.tomathouse.com
Ingredients:
- 4 slices prosciutto
- 1 canned roasted sweet pepper
- 1 tube (220 g) chilled croissant dough
- 1/4 cup pesto + extra for serving
- 16 frozen mozzarella sticks (from a 700g package)
- Marinara sauce, for filing
Preparation:
- Preheat oven to 175°C. Line 2 rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Cut each slice of prosciutto into 4 pieces, approximately 4 x 7 cm. Cut the roasted red pepper into 16 strips, approximately 1 x 5 cm.
- Roll out the dough on a cutting board. Spread the pesto over the dough and spread it into an even layer. Cut the dough along the perforated lines to create 8 triangles. Cut each triangle in half to create 16 long, narrow triangles.
- Place a mozzarella stick across the bottom of the wide side of one of the triangles. Place 1 red pepper strip crosswise next to the mozzarella, then place 1 piece of prosciutto on top of most of the remaining pesto layer. Starting with the wide side, tightly roll the dough around the filling and place it seam-side down on one of the prepared baking sheets. Repeat with the remaining dough, prosciutto, bell pepper, and mozzarella sticks.
- Bake until golden brown and the filling is heated through, about 20 minutes. Serve warm with marinara sauce and the remaining pesto for dipping.
