Servings people

1 package gluten-free pizza dough (14 oz) thawed (Wholly Gluten-Free Pizza Dough recommended)
dusting of gluten-free flour for rolling out dough
2 tbsp sugar
2 tbsp ground cinnamon
8 marshmallows
¼ cup salted butter melted

Preheat oven to 400℉.
On lightly floured parchment paper, roll out the gluten-free pizza dough into roughly a 12-inch round. Using a pizza wheel cutter, cut the dough into 8 "pizza" slices and set aside.
Mix cinnamon and sugar in a small bowl.
Take one marshmallow. (represents Jesus' body) Dip it in the melted butter. Then, roll it in the cinnamon sugar mixture. (represents preparing Jesus' body for burial with oils and spices)
Place the cinnamon-sugar-coated marshmallow in the center of a pizza dough triangle. Pull the ends of the dough together like a pouch and pinch the dough firmly together to seal. (represents wrapping Jesus' body in linens)
Dip top of roll in melted butter, then in the cinnamon sugar mixture. Place the roll in a silicone muffin pan (or parchment-lined baking sheet) in case the marshmallow leaks during baking.
Repeat steps 4-6 until all 8 resurrection rolls are assembled.
Place the resurrection rolls in the oven (represents the tomb) and close the door (represents the stone). Bake for ~14 minutes or until light golden brown.
Cool for 5 minutes. Serve. Cut open roll to reveal the "empty tomb". Jesus is risen!
