Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a small bowl, combine the softened butter, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, and salt until a thick garlic butter paste forms.
- Unroll the pizza dough onto a lightly floured surface, shaping it into a rough rectangle approximately 10x12 inches. Spread the garlic butter mixture evenly over the entire surface of the dough, leaving a small half-inch border on one long edge.
- Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese and Parmesan cheese evenly over the garlic butter layer.
- Starting from the long edge opposite the unbuttered border, tightly roll the dough into a log. Pinch the seam closed firmly to secure the roll.
- Using a sharp knife or unflavored dental floss, slice the log into 18 even pinwheels, approximately 3/4 inch thick each. Place the pinwheels cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch between them.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the cheese is bubbly. Optional: brush with a little extra melted butter immediately after removing from the oven. Sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving warm.
Notes
For an extra kick, add a very thin layer of pizza sauce over the garlic butter before sprinkling the cheese. Ensure the dough is firm (slightly chilled) when rolling and cutting for the neatest pinwheels.
