Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare a large baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.

Cut the mozzarella string cheese sticks into 1-inch pieces.

Take your pizza dough and lightly flour your work surface to prevent sticking, then divide the dough into 32 equal portions.

Place one cheese chunk in the center of each dough rectangle, wrap the dough around the cheese, and seal.

Lay the dough balls seam-side down on the baking sheet, arranging them in a football shape.

In a small bowl, whisk together milk or beaten egg, then brush over the tops of each roll and sprinkle with flaky salt.

Bake the rolls for 18 minutes, until puffed and golden brown.

While baking, melt 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter and mix in grated Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, chopped parsley, chopped basil, salt, and pepper.

Once out of the oven, brush the garlic herb butter over each roll.

Slice a piece of cheese into 7 thin rectangles and arrange them on top of the rolls to mimic football laces.

Serve the rolls with warm marinara sauce for dipping.
