- 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese

How to Make Cheesy Stuffed Garlic Bread Rolls | Munchin’ With Maddie
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to ensure easy cleanup and perfect baking.
- In a bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, shredded mozzarella, minced garlic, parsley, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper until creamy and well combined.
- Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface into a large rectangle about ¼ inch thick. Cut the dough into squares, about 3-4 inches in size.
- Place a tablespoon of the cheesy filling in the center of each square. Fold the corners over the filling and pinch the edges to seal securely.
- Brush the tops of the rolls with melted butter for that extra golden touch.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until they are puffed and golden brown. Let them cool slightly before serving—this will make the cheese wonderfully melty!
Fun Ways to Customize It
- Zesty Spinach and Artichoke: Add a dollop of spinach and artichoke dip instead of the garlic filling for a rich, creamy twist.
- Pepperoni Rolls: Incorporate slices of turkey bacon or pepperoni into the cheesy mix for a delicious pizza-inspired flavor.
- Spicy Jalapeño: Mix in some minced jalapeños for a zesty kick that will elevate your rolls to new heights.
- Herb-Infused Butter: Experiment with different herbs like oregano or dill in your melted butter for an aromatic finish.
Chef Emma’s Helpful Tips
- Make-Ahead Advice: You can prepare the rolls in advance and refrigerate them until you’re ready to bake. Just add a few extra minutes to the baking time if they’re coming straight from the fridge.
- Ingredient Swaps: Feel free to swap mozzarella cheese for any of your favorites like cheddar or gouda to create your unique flavor profile.
- Slicing Tricks: Use kitchen scissors to easily cut the pizza dough into squares without tearing, keeping the edges neat for sealing.
- Storage Suggestions: Leftover rolls can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Reheat them in the oven for a few minutes to bring back that fresh-out-of-the-oven taste!
