Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough into a rectangle about 12 by 8 inches and cut into 8–10 equal squares.
Filling and Shaping
- Place a generous teaspoon of mozzarella and a sprinkle of Parmesan in the center of each square. If using extras like spinach or sun-dried tomatoes, add a little now. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
- Fold the corners of each square over the filling and pinch to seal, rolling gently into a neat ball.
Garlic Butter Glazing and Baking
- Mix softened butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, and red pepper flakes. Brush the glaze over each roll generously.
- Arrange rolls on the sheet seam-side down and bake for 15–20 minutes until golden and puffed.
Finishing
- Brush with any remaining garlic butter and let rolls cool for 3–4 minutes before serving.
Notes
For a crispier bottom, bake on a preheated cast iron skillet instead of a sheet. For varied flavors, consider substituting ingredients like using different cheeses or adding herbs in the filling.
