# Steps:

Roll out the pizza dough into a large rectangle, approximately 12×16 inches, ensuring enough surface area for toppings.
02 -
Evenly distribute marinara sauce over the rolled dough, leaving a 1-inch border around all edges to prevent spillage.

Starting from one of the longer sides, carefully roll the dough into a tight log.

Using a sharp knife, cut the log into 1-inch thick slices to form individual rolls.
