How to prepare Pizza Cannoli

Let’s start preparing the Pizza Cannoli by pouring the tomato sauce into a bowl, add a pinch of salt,
some extra virgin olive oil
and oregano,
mix and set aside.
Unroll the pizza dough or if you are using homemade pizza dough, roll it out as thinly as possible into a rectangle. Cut the shorter side in half and the longer side into 4 parts, so you have 8 rectangles.
Pour the previously seasoned tomato sauce in the center
and spread it with the back of a teaspoon,
add diced mozzarella
and close the cannoli.
Place the pizza cannoli on the baking tray and sprinkle with oregano.
Bake in a preheated static oven at 400°F for 20 minutes; the time may vary depending on the oven, so always check the cooking. Once they are cooked, remove them and let them rest for a few minutes, then serve them hot and melty.
