Ingredients
For the Filling:
-
8 slices bacon, cooked crisp and crumbled
-
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
-
½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
-
½ cup cream cheese, softened
-
¼ cup sour cream
-
2 tbsp ranch seasoning (store-bought or homemade)
-
¼ tsp garlic powder (optional, for extra flavor)
For the Dough:
-
1 lb pizza dough (homemade or store-bought)
-
¼ cup melted butter
-
1 tbsp ranch seasoning (for brushing)
Optional Garnish:
-
Chopped fresh parsley
-
Extra ranch dressing (for dipping)
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Preheat & Prep
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper.
Step 2: Make the Filling
In a mixing bowl, combine mozzarella, cheddar, cream cheese, sour cream, ranch seasoning, garlic powder, and crumbled bacon. Mix until smooth and well blended.
Step 3: Roll Out the Dough
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a 12x16-inch rectangle. Spread the bacon ranch filling evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
Step 4: Roll & Slice
Tightly roll the dough into a log, starting from one of the long sides. Pinch the seam to seal. Using a sharp knife or dental floss, cut the log into 12–15 slices and place them cut-side up on the baking sheet.
Step 5: Bake
Brush the rolls with melted butter and sprinkle with ranch seasoning. Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until golden brown and bubbly.
Step 6: Garnish & Serve
Let the rolls cool for 5 minutes, then garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm with ranch dressing for dipping.
