Ingredients
Scale
Rollups
- 1 package pizza dough (about 13.8 oz)
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
Garlic Butter
- 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 prepare for baking the rollups.
- Roll Out Dough: Place the pizza dough on a clean, flat surface and roll it out evenly to the desired thickness, ensuring uniform cooking.
- 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 prevent cheese from leaking out during baking.
- Slice Rollups: Slice the rolled dough into 1-inch thick pieces with a sharp knife for uniform bite-sized rollups.
- Arrange in Dish: Lightly grease a baking dish and place the sliced rollups cut side up, giving them space to expand while baking.
- Brush with Garlic Butter: Generously brush each rollup with the prepared garlic butter mixture to enhance flavor and create a golden crust.
- Bake: Bake the rollups in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Serve: Allow to cool slightly before serving warm as a savory appetizer or snack.
Notes
- Use fresh mozzarella for a creamier texture, or a blend of cheeses for variation.
- Chill the dough slightly if it’s too sticky before rolling out.
- To make it spicier, add red pepper flakes to the garlic butter mixture.
- These rollups can be prepared ahead and baked just before serving.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat in the oven for best texture.
