How to Make Garlic Parmesan Pizza Roll-Ups

In a small bowl, mix together the melted butter, Parmesan cheese, and minced garlic until well combined. Brush this delicious garlic-Parmesan mixture all over the top of the dough.

Step 2: Main Cooking Process
Now it’s time to add the fillings! Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border on all sides. Then, add your favorite pizza toppings on top of the cheese. Feel free to get creative here – pepperoni, mushrooms, bell peppers, or anything else your heart desires. Once you’ve loaded up the dough, it’s time to roll it up tightly, starting from the short end and rolling towards the other short end.
Step 3: Final Steps/Assembly
Carefully transfer the rolled-up dough to a greased baking sheet, seam-side down. Using a sharp knife, slice the roll into 1-inch thick pieces, making sure not to cut all the way through. Gently fan out the slices, being careful not to let them fall apart. Bake the pizza roll-ups in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Once the Garlic Parmesan Pizza Roll-Ups have finished baking, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Serve these LEGENDARY rolls warm, with a side of marinara sauce for dipping. Trust me, your guests are going to DEVOUR these incredible, mouth-watering pizza rolls!
