Ingredients

Scale

For the Dough and Filling

  • 1 batch pizza dough (about 1 lb)
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 6–8 strips bacon, cooked and chopped
  • 4 tablespoons softened butter
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon salt (for garlic butter)
  • 1 tablespoon ranch seasoning

Toppings and Finishing

  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or melted butter (for brushing)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Bacon and Garlic Butter: Cook the bacon strips until perfectly crispy, then chop into bite-sized pieces. In a small bowl, combine softened butter with minced garlic and a pinch of salt to make the garlic butter blend.
  2. Roll Out the Pizza Dough: Lightly flour your work surface and roll the pizza dough into a rectangle approximately 1/4 inch thick, ensuring even thickness for easy filling and rolling.
  3. Add the Fillings: Generously brush the entire dough surface with the garlic butter. Evenly sprinkle the chopped bacon pieces and shredded mozzarella cheese over the top, then finish by sprinkling ranch seasoning to add a tangy flavor layer.
  4. Roll and Cut: Carefully roll the dough tightly from one long edge to the other, forming a log. Using a serrated knife, slice the log into even pieces about 1 to 1.5 inches thick.
  5. Bake Until Golden and Gooey: Place the pizza rolls on a greased or parchment-lined baking sheet, spaced slightly apart. Brush the tops with melted butter or olive oil and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 18-22 minutes until rolls are golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.

Notes

  • Use cold dough for easier handling and to prevent tearing.
  • Don’t overload the filling to avoid bursting rolls during baking.
  • Cut rolls evenly with a serrated knife using a gentle sawing motion.
  • Brush tops generously with butter and Parmesan for a crisp, flavorful crust.
  • Let rolls rest 5 minutes after baking to allow cheese to firm and prevent burning.
