Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 1 package pizza dough (about 13.8 oz)
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter
- 2 tsp garlic powder
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
- Pinch of salt
- Pinch of pepper
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the rollups.
- Roll Out Dough: On a clean, flat surface, roll out the pizza dough evenly to your desired thickness, ensuring it’s large enough to accommodate the cheese filling.
- Add Cheese: Evenly sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the entire surface of the rolled-out dough.
- Prepare Garlic Butter: In a small bowl, melt the unsalted butter and mix in garlic powder, chopped fresh parsley, salt, and pepper to create a flavorful garlic butter mixture.
- Roll Dough: Carefully roll the dough tightly around the cheese, making sure to seal the edges well to keep the cheese inside during baking.
- Slice Rollup: Using a sharp knife, slice the rolled dough into 1-inch pieces to form individual rollups.
- Arrange in Baking Dish: Place the sliced rollups side by side in a greased baking dish, leaving a little space between each.
- Brush with Garlic Butter: Generously brush the top of each rollup with the prepared garlic butter mixture for added flavor and a golden finish.
- Bake: Bake the rollups in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until they turn golden brown and the cheese inside is melted and bubbly.
Notes
- For extra flavor, consider adding a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese on top before baking.
- Use fresh garlic instead of garlic powder for a more intense garlic flavor.
- These rollups can be served warm or at room temperature.
- If you prefer a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the garlic butter mixture.
- Make sure to seal the dough edges tightly to prevent cheese from leaking during baking.
