Dough and Cheese Filling
- 1 pound pizza dough
- 36 mozzarella cubes
Garlic Butter Topping
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1/4 cup parmesan cheese
- Preheat and Prepare Baking Sheet: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
- Divide and Stuff Dough: Roll out your pizza dough and divide it into 36 equal portions. Flatten each portion slightly, place one mozzarella cube in the center, and carefully wrap the dough around the cheese, sealing it well so the cheese does not leak out during baking.
- Mix Garlic Butter: In a small bowl, melt the butter and combine it with minced garlic and Italian seasoning to create a flavorful garlic butter mixture.
- Arrange Rolls and Apply Topping: Place the stuffed dough balls seam side down on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops generously with the garlic butter mixture, ensuring they are well coated for a golden finish.
- Sprinkle Parmesan: Evenly sprinkle parmesan cheese over the tops of each roll to add a salty, tangy crust once baked.
- Bake Rolls: Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-18 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and the cheese inside is melted and bubbly.
- Serve Warm: Remove from the oven and allow the rolls to cool slightly before serving to enjoy the gooey, cheesy center and rich garlic flavor.
Notes
- Ensure the dough is sealed tightly around the cheese cubes to prevent them from leaking out during baking.
- You can substitute mozzarella cubes with other cheese types like cheddar or provolone for different flavor profiles.
- For a spicier version, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the garlic butter mixture.
- These rolls are best enjoyed fresh and warm but can be reheated in the oven for a few minutes if needed.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
