Equipment
- Baking Sheet
- Parchment Paper
- Pastry Brush
Ingredients
Pizza Dough
- 1 can pizza dough store-bought or homemade
Fillings
- 1 cup cooked crispy bacon crumbled
- 1.5 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup ranch dressing
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
Topping
- 2 tbsp melted butter
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a rectangle approximately 12x8 inches.
- Spread the ranch dressing evenly over the rolled-out dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Sprinkle the crumbled bacon evenly over the ranch-covered dough.
- Add the shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheeses on top of the bacon.
- Evenly sprinkle the garlic powder and Italian seasoning over the cheese layer.
- Starting from one of the longer sides, tightly roll up the dough into a log shape.
- Using a sharp knife, slice the roll into 1-inch pieces to create individual rolls.
- Place the sliced rolls cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Brush the tops of the rolls with melted butter to enhance browning.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
- Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm, optionally with extra ranch dressing for dipping.
Notes
For an extra kick, consider adding a sprinkle of red pepper flakes to the filling before rolling up the dough. These rolls are best enjoyed fresh but can be reheated in the oven to retain their crispiness.
