-
1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
-
¼ cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional for a flavor boost)
For the Garlic Butter:
-
3 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
-
2 garlic cloves, minced
-
1 tsp dried parsley or 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
-
½ tsp dried oregano
-
¼ tsp salt
-
¼ tsp black pepper
Optional Dipping Sauces:

Warm marinara sauce

Instructions
Step 1: Preheat and Prep the Dough
-
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
-
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
Unroll the crescent or pizza dough on a lightly floured surface.
-
If using pizza dough, roll it into a large rectangle, about ¼-inch thick.
Step 2: Add the Cheese
-
Sprinkle mozzarella (and cheddar, if using) evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
-
Gently press down to help the cheese stick to the dough.
Step 3: Roll and Slice
-
Starting from one long edge, tightly roll the dough into a log.
-
Use a sharp knife or pizza cutter to slice into 1-inch wide pieces.
-
Place each rollup cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
Step 4: Make the Garlic Butter
-
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat.
-
Add minced garlic, parsley, oregano, salt, and pepper.
-
Stir well and let it heat for 1 minute to infuse the flavors.
-
Remove from heat.
Step 5: Brush and Bake
-
Brush each rollup generously with the garlic butter.
-
Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until golden brown and the cheese is bubbling.
-
For extra flavor, brush again with any leftover garlic butter right after baking.
Step 6: Serve Warm
-
Transfer to a serving plate.
-
Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
-
Enjoy the warm, cheesy goodness with every bite!
Notes
Use Fresh Dough – Crescent or pizza dough works great, but fresh dough yields softer rollups.
Cheese Variations – Try provolone, Monterey Jack, or even pepper jack for a spicy version.
Don’t Overfill – Too much cheese can cause the rollups to open or leak.
Brush Twice – One coat before baking and one after gives them extra garlic flavor and shine.
Add a Crunch – Sprinkle with a little Parmesan before baking for a golden crust.
