Gather These Simple Ingredients

To whip up your delicious Cheesy Stuffed Garlic Bread Rolls, you’ll need the following:

• 1 package of pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
• 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1/2 cup of cream cheese, softened
• 4 tablespoons of butter, melted
• 3-4 cloves of garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon of fresh parsley, finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon of Italian seasoning
• Salt and pepper, to taste

Let’s Make It Together

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
2. In a bowl, mix together the softened cream cheese, shredded mozzarella, minced garlic, parsley, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper until you have a creamy, zesty filling.
3. On a floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a rectangle about ¼ inch thick. Cut it into squares, large enough to hold a dollop of your cheesy mixture.
4. Place about a tablespoon of the cheesy filling onto the center of each square.
5. Fold the corners of the dough over the filling, pinching to seal well and create a little pouch.
6. Brush the tops with the melted butter, giving them a beautiful golden sheen before they go into the oven.
7. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until they’re puffed and golden brown. The aroma will fill your home with warmth and comfort!
8. Allow them to cool slightly before serving to ensure that melty cheese goodness remains intact.

Delicious Variations to Try

• Spinach and Feta: Add some sautéed spinach and crumbled feta cheese for a Mediterranean twist.
• Bacon Cheddar Bliss: Swap the mozzarella for sharp cheddar and toss in some crispy turkey bacon for added flavor.
• Herbed Parmesan: Incorporate fresh herbs like basil or rosemary with grated Parmesan cheese to elevate the flavor profile.
• Spicy Jalapeño: Add diced jalapeños or red pepper flakes to give your rolls a zesty kick.

Chef Emma’s Helpful Tips

• Make-Ahead Magic: You can prepare the rolls in advance and refrigerate them before baking. Just add a few extra minutes to the baking time if they go in straight from the fridge.
• Dough Choices: Feel free to use homemade pizza dough if you’re up for a bit of extra fun, adding your favorite herbs directly into the dough for additional flavor.
• Storage Suggestions: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven for that fresh-baked taste!
• Slicing Tricks: Use a sharp knife to cut the pizza dough into squares; it will make your life so much easier when shaping the rolls.
