Instructions
Step 1: Place the frozen rolls on a plate, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Step 2: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 3: Cut the mozzarella sticks into approximately 1-inch pieces.
Step 4: Using your hands, flatten each dough ball into a round disk.
Step 5: Place two pieces of cheese in the center of each flattened dough disk.
Step 6: Pinch the edges firmly together to seal in the cheese, ensuring no gaps. Place the sealed dough balls seam-side down on the baking sheet.
Step 7: Bake the rolls for 9-11 minutes, or until they start to brown.
Step 8: While the rolls are baking, melt the butter in a microwave-safe dish or saucepan. Stir in the minced garlic and parsley flakes once the butter is melted.
Step 9: After the rolls are browned, remove them from the oven and brush each one evenly with the garlic butter mixture.
Step 10: Allow the cheesy garlic bombs to cool slightly before serving.
Tips for Success:
- Make sure to seal the edges well to prevent the cheese from oozing out.
- If you like a stronger garlic flavor, add a pinch of garlic powder to the butter mixture.
Notes
- Experiment with Fillings: Add small pieces of pepperoni or sautéed mushrooms for a flavor twist.
- Serve with Dips: Pair these bombs with marinara, ranch dressing, or a spicy sriracha mayo.
- Make Ahead: Prepare and freeze unbaked bombs. Simply bake them straight from the freezer, adding a few extra minutes to the cooking time.
