Steps

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) .
2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat and set aside.

Step 2: Flatten the Bread

1. Using a rolling pin, gently flatten each slice of bread until thin and even.
   • Tip : Rolling the bread helps it stay sealed and ensures the rollups bake up crispy.

Step 3: Add the Cheese

1. Sprinkle a generous amount of mozzarella and cheddar cheese evenly across the bottom third of each bread slice.
2. If using, sprinkle a little Parmesan cheese over the top for extra flavor.
3. Roll the bread tightly from the cheese side up to form a log.
   • Optional : Seal the edge of the rollup with a little melted butter if needed to prevent unrolling during baking.

Step 4: Prepare the Garlic Butter

1. In a small bowl, combine the melted butter , minced garlic , garlic powder , parsley , and salt .
2. Mix well to infuse the butter with flavor.

Step 5: Assemble and Bake

1. Place each rollup seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
2. Brush the tops and sides of the rollups generously with the garlic butter mixture.
3. Bake in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes , or until golden brown and crispy on the outside.
   • Air Fryer Option : Cook at 360°F (180°C) for 8–10 minutes , flipping halfway through.

Step 6: Serve Warm

1. Let the rollups cool for a minute before serving.
2. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce, such as marinara, garlic herb sauce, ranch, or spicy ketchup.

Tips for Success

• Use fresh ingredients : Fresh garlic and parsley elevate the flavor of the garlic butter.
• Don’t skimp on the butter : Generously brushing the rollups ensures they’re golden and crispy.
• Experiment with cheeses : Swap out the cheddar for pepper jack or add a sprinkle of blue cheese for a unique twist.
• Make ahead : Assemble the rollups ahead of time, brush with garlic butter, and refrigerate. Bake just before serving.

Serving Suggestions

• These rollups are perfect for game day, parties, or as an after-school snack.
• Pair them with a variety of dipping sauces to suit everyone’s taste.
