Ingredients
Scale
Base
- 1 batch pizza dough (enough to roll out to 12x16 inches)
Flavorings & Fillings
- Garlic butter, melted (about 4-6 tablespoons)
- Cooked bacon bits (approximately 6-8 slices, cooked and crumbled)
- Ranch dressing or ranch seasoning (2-3 tablespoons dressing or 1-2 teaspoons seasoning)
- Shredded mozzarella cheese (1.5 to 2 cups)
Toppings
- Grated Parmesan cheese (about 1/4 cup)
- Additional garlic butter for brushing tops (2 tablespoons)
- Fresh herbs like chopped parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare the dough: Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface into a large 12×16 inch rectangle, providing enough space to evenly layer the fillings.
- Spread garlic butter: Generously brush the entire dough surface with melted garlic butter to infuse moisture and rich garlic flavor.
- Add bacon, ranch, and cheese: Evenly sprinkle cooked bacon bits across the buttered dough. Drizzle ranch dressing or sprinkle ranch seasoning over the top, then scatter shredded mozzarella cheese evenly ensuring gooey centers.
- Roll and slice: Carefully roll the dough tightly starting from the long edge into a log. Use a sharp knife to slice into 1 to 1.5-inch sections, creating individual pizza rolls filled to perfection.
- Bake to golden perfection: Place the rolls cut-side up on a greased baking sheet. Brush tops with additional garlic butter and sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese. Bake in a preheated 375°F oven for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown and bubbly. Let cool slightly before serving.
Notes
- Use room temperature dough for easier rolling and fluffier results.
- Do not overfill to prevent bursting and losing shape while baking.
- Chill rolled dough in the fridge for 10 minutes before slicing for cleaner cuts.
- Brush tops with garlic butter before and after baking for extra flavor and shine.
- Serve warm immediately for best ooey-gooey cheese experience.
