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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
