Ingredients
- 1 ball pizza dough
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1.5 cups shredded cheese
- grated Parmesan cheese
- kosher salt
- freshly cracked black pepper
- garlic powder
Instructions
Step 1
Lightly grease an 8-inch x 8-inch glass baking pan and set it aside.
Step 2
Place pizza dough on a lightly floured board and roughly flatten it into a rectangle. Using a rolling pin, roll it out to about 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick.
Step 3
Melt the butter (about 20 seconds on high in the microwave). Pour the melted butter onto the center of the rolled dough. With your hand or a spatula, spread the butter to cover the dough.
Step 4
Sprinkle the dough with grated Parmesan cheese, followed by an even layer of finely shredded cheese (such as a mix of mozzarella and cheddar).
Step 5
Sprinkle with kosher salt, freshly cracked black pepper, and garlic powder. Optionally, add other ingredients like herbs or olives in a thin layer.
Step 6
Carefully roll the dough up into a long tube, tucking the cheese in as you go, similar to rolling a burrito or spring roll.
Step 7
Cut the rolled dough into about 12 pieces, each about an inch wide. The scrawny end pieces can be stuck together in a corner of the pan to form one roll.
Step 8
Carefully place each roll into the prepared baking pan, nestling them together. The end pieces can be placed in a corner to bake together.
Step 9
Cover the pan with a lightly greased piece of plastic wrap. Let the rolls rise in a warm place for about 30 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Step 10
Bake in the preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 20 minutes, or until the dough is lightly browned and the cheese has bubbled up to a golden brown crust. The bottoms should also be golden brown.
Step 11
Cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Use a spatula to remove them from the pan. Serve warm, or let them cool to room temperature.
Step 12
Pull apart, serve, and enjoy!
