Ingredients

  • pizza dough

    - see note

    16 oz
  • mozzarella string cheese sticks

    or 32 land o lakes creamy italian blend cheese cubes

    8
  • milk

    or 1 egg

    ½ tbsp
  • flaky salt)

    (optional

  • unsalted butter

    melted & cooled slightly

    4 tbsp
  • finely grated parmesan cheese
    ¼ c
  • cloves of garlic)

    minced (or 1 large clove

    2 small
  • chopped parsley
    1 tbsp
  • chopped basil
    1 tbsp
  • salt & pepper
    to taste
  • slice cheese of choice)

    (mozarella, provolone, cheddar

    1
  • marinara sauce

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 400F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. 2

    Using a knife or bench scraper, cut the cheese sticks into 1 inch pieces (each cheese stick should yield about 4 pieces, and 32 in total). If you're using the Land O Lakes Cheese Cubes then you can skip this step. Then, use a knife or bench scraper to divide the pizza dough into 32 pieces (if your dough is 16oz, you will probably only get 30 pieces out of it). If you want to be precise, you can use a scale to make sure each is the same weight!

  3. 3

    Use your fingers to press each piece of pizza dough into small rectangles. Then, add a chunk of cheese in the middle and wrap the dough around it. Pinch the dough closed and roll it into a ball.

  4. 4

    Place dough balls seam side down on the prepared baking sheet in the shape of a football. The outer rim of the football should use about 16 dough balls, and the remaining will go in the middle. Make sure they are touching but not too cramped.

  5. 5

    Brush milk (or whisked egg) over the top of the dough balls. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt, if using. Transfer baking sheet to the oven and bake for 18 minutes. Then, switch the oven to broil and broil for 2-3 minutes until the tops of the rolls are golden. Let the rolls cool slightly.

  6. 6

    In a medium bowl, mix together the melted butter, parmesan, garlic, parsley, basil, salt & pepper. Then, brush this mixture over the top of the rolls.

  7. 7

    Cut the slice of cheese into 7 thin rectangles. Arrange them on top of the rolls to mimic the look of football laces.

  8. 8

    Serve with some warm marinara. Enjoy!

About this Recipe

Craving a crowd-pleasing appetizer that disappears in minutes? These Cheesy Stuffed Garlic Bread Rolls are an absolute game-changer for any gathering, from casual get-togethers to spirited game day celebrations.

What makes these rolls so special is their irresistible combination of soft, golden-baked bread, gooey mozzarella, and a fragrant garlic herb butter finish. You'll love how each bite delivers a burst of savory flavor, perfectly balanced by the creamy cheese inside. It's an addictive pull-apart experience that's far more impressive than basic garlic bread, yet surprisingly simple to create.

Imagine biting into a warm, tender roll, where the golden exterior gives way to a stretchy, melted mozzarella core. The rolls are brushed with a vibrant garlic herb butter, featuring fresh parsley and basil, which infuses every crevice with aromatic goodness. Dipping them into warm marinara sauce elevates the experience, adding a tangy counterpoint to the rich, cheesy bread. These delightful bites are engineered for sharing and pure enjoyment, providing a satisfying treat at just 54 calories per serving.

Customization & Variations

While these rolls are perfect as written, you can easily adapt them to your pantry or preference. Instead of mozzarella string cheese, feel free to use 32 Land O Lakes creamy Italian blend cheese cubes for stuffing. For the roll wash, a simple swap of 0.5 tbsp milk can be made for 1 egg. If you enjoy a little extra crunch and visual appeal, a sprinkle of flaky salt before baking adds a lovely touch.

Serving & Context

These Cheesy Stuffed Garlic Bread Rolls are the quintessential party or game day appetizer, designed for sharing and dunking. Serve them warm straight from the oven with a generous bowl of marinara sauce for dipping, and watch them vanish!
