Ingredients

Scale

Base

  • Refrigerated pizza dough (enough for 1 roll, about 8-10 ounces)

Filling

  • 6 strips bacon, cooked crispy and chopped
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 tablespoon ranch seasoning mix

Coating

  • 1/4 cup garlic butter, melted

Optional Garnishes

  • Freshly chopped chives or green onions, for garnish
  • Grated Parmesan cheese, for garnish
  • Ranch dressing, for drizzling

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Bacon and Filling: Cook bacon strips until crispy, then chop into bite-sized pieces. In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella, chopped bacon, and ranch seasoning mix until evenly mixed.
  2. Roll Out the Dough: Lightly flour your work surface and roll out the refrigerated pizza dough into a rectangular shape about 1/4 inch thick, ensuring even thickness.
  3. Fill and Roll the Dough: Evenly spread the bacon and cheese mixture over the dough rectangle, then carefully roll it up tightly from one end to the other, similar to rolling a jelly roll, ensuring a snug fit.
  4. Slice into Rolls: Using a sharp knife, cut the rolled dough into slices approximately 1 to 1.5 inches thick. Place the slices on a parchment-lined baking sheet with the spiral side facing up, allowing space between rolls.
  5. Brush with Garlic Butter and Bake: Generously brush each roll with melted garlic butter for flavor and a golden finish. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 18-22 minutes, or until the rolls appear puffy and golden brown.

Notes

  • Don’t skip the garlic butter; it adds moisture and enhances flavor while creating a crispy crust.
  • Keep the rolls tightly packed to maintain their shape and prevent cheese from leaking out during baking.
  • Use room temperature dough for easier rolling and a fluffier baked texture.
  • If the dough feels sticky, chill it for 10 minutes before slicing to ensure clean cuts.
  • Serve the rolls warm to enjoy the melty cheese and buttery crust at their best.
