Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Meatballs

    In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, garlic powder, onion, salt, black pepper, Parmesan cheese, and Italian seasoning. Mix until well combined.

  2. 2

    Form the Meatballs

    Shape the mixture into small meatballs, about 2.5 cm in diameter.

  3. 3

    Cook the Meatballs

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the meatballs for about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally until browned and cooked through. Remove from heat.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Dough

    Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface into a rectangle, about 1 cm thick.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Meatball Bread

    Spread marinara sauce over the rolled-out dough, leaving a small border. Place the cooked meatballs evenly on top. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the meatballs.

  6. 6

    Roll and Bake

    Starting from one end, carefully roll the dough into a log. Pinch the edges to seal. Place seam side down on a baking sheet. Bake in a preheated oven at 200°C (400°F) for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Let the Meatball Bread cool for a few minutes before slicing. Serve warm.
