Expert Secrets:

• Ensure the edges of the dough are sealed tightly to prevent any filling from leaking out during baking.

• For a gooey and cheesy texture, use freshly grated mozzarella instead of pre-shredded cheese.
• Don’t overload the rolls with toppings, as this can make them difficult to roll up neatly.
• Experiment with different types of dough like puff pastry for a flakier crust.
