You can use pizza dough or homemade dough if preferred

Mozzarella cheese
Classic choice for that stretchy, melty center.
Cheddar or Monterey Jack also work beautifully.

Butter
Use real butter for the richest flavor.
Unsalted butter gives you more control over seasoning.

Garlic
Freshly minced garlic delivers bold flavor.
Garlic powder can be used in a pinch.

Parsley
Fresh parsley adds color and freshness.
Dried parsley works if that’s what you have.

Parmesan cheese
Adds a salty, savory finish on top.
Freshly grated gives the best texture.

Salt
Just a pinch enhances all the flavors.
Be careful if your cheese is already salty.

Shape and place
Roll into smooth balls and place seam-side down on the baking sheet.
Leave a little space between each one.

Bake until golden
Bake for 12–15 minutes until puffed and lightly browned.
The tops should look glossy and firm.
