For the Parmesan Garlic Butter:

Instructions
-
Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
-
Prepare the Pizza Rolls:
- Roll out the pizza dough on a flat surface into a rectangle shape.
- Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese and Parmesan cheese evenly over the dough.
- Roll the dough up tightly from one edge to the other, forming a log.
- Slice the rolled dough into 1-inch pieces (about 12-14 rolls, depending on the size of the dough).
- Arrange the pizza rolls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart.
-
Make the Parmesan Garlic Butter:
- In a small bowl, melt the butter in the microwave or on the stove.
- Stir in the minced garlic, Parmesan cheese, dried oregano, red pepper flakes (if using), and salt.
- Brush the garlic-Parmesan butter generously over the top of the pizza rolls, making sure to coat them evenly.
-
Bake the Pizza Rolls:
- Bake the pizza rolls in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy on top.
- Halfway through baking, you can brush more garlic butter on top of the rolls for extra flavor if desired.
-
Serve & Enjoy:
- Once baked, remove the rolls from the oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes.
- Serve with pizza sauce on the side for dipping, and enjoy the cheesy, garlicky goodness!
Notes
- Add Toppings: Feel free to add extra toppings like pepperoni, sausage, or vegetables before rolling the dough.
- Make Them Spicy: Add some jalapeños or a sprinkle of crushed red pepper to the garlic butter for an extra kick.
- Dipping Sauces: Besides pizza sauce, try ranch dressing, garlic butter, or marinara sauce for dipping.
