Ingredients
Scale
Rollups
- 1 package pizza dough (about 13.8 oz)
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
Garlic Butter Mixture
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter
- 2 tsp garlic powder
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
- Pinch of salt and pepper
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it’s hot and ready for baking the rollups.
- Roll Out Dough: On a clean, flat surface, roll out the pizza dough to an even thickness, creating a rectangle suitable for rolling.
- Add Cheese: Evenly sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the entire surface of the rolled out dough for a consistent cheesy flavor in every bite.
- Prepare Garlic Butter: In a small bowl, melt the unsalted butter and stir in garlic powder, chopped fresh parsley, salt, and pepper, mixing well to combine all the flavors.
- Roll and Seal: Starting from one edge, roll the dough tightly around the cheese filling, then pinch and seal the edges to keep the cheese inside while baking.
- Slice Rollups: Cut the rolled dough into 1-inch thick pieces, creating bite-sized rollups.
- Arrange in Dish: Place the sliced rollups point side up in a greased baking dish ensuring they’re close but not overcrowded.
- Brush with Garlic Butter: Generously brush the top of each rollup with the prepared garlic butter mixture to add flavor and help achieve a golden crust.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the rollups are golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
Notes
- You can substitute mozzarella with other melty cheeses like cheddar or provolone for different flavors.
- Fresh garlic can be used instead of garlic powder for a stronger garlic taste.
- To make cleanup easier, line the baking dish with parchment paper before placing the rollups.
- Serve warm with marinara or your favorite dipping sauces for extra indulgence.
- For a crispier crust, broil for 1-2 minutes at the end of baking, watching carefully to prevent burning.
