  3. Step 3: Flatten each defrosted dinner roll to about 3-4 inches in diameter using a rolling pin.
  4. Step 4: Place a generous spoonful of the filling in the center of each roll, then pinch the edges to seal.
  5. Step 5: Brush the tops with olive oil and arrange on a greased baking sheet.
  6. Step 6: Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and puffed up.

  • Watch baking time carefully to avoid over-baking.
