  • Total Time: 30-35 minutes
  • Yield: 12-16 pizza rolls 1x

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

  1. 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.
  2. Spread garlic butter: Generously brush the entire dough surface with melted garlic butter to infuse moisture and rich garlic flavor.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
