- 1.5 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.25 cup finely grated Parmesan plus more for sprinkling if you like
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter, melted

Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Heat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment.
- Cook bacon until crisp, then chop and pat dry with paper towels.
- Stir melted butter with garlic, parsley, oregano, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes.
- Dust the counter with flour. Roll the dough into a 12x14-inch rectangle.
- Brush half the garlic butter over the dough, leaving a small border on one long edge.
- Scatter mozzarella, half the Parmesan, and the bacon evenly over the buttered dough.
- Roll up tightly from the long side toward the clean border. Pinch the seam to seal.
- Slice the log into 12 rolls and arrange cut side up on the baking sheet, spaced slightly apart.
- Brush tops with remaining garlic butter and sprinkle with the rest of the Parmesan.
- Bake 16–18 minutes until golden and bubbling. Cool 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
Swap mozzarella for sharp cheddar, or add thinly sliced scallions for a mild bite. For party prep, assemble and slice the rolls, cover, and refrigerate up to 12 hours; bake straight from the fridge, adding 2–3 minutes. Leftovers reheat well in a 350°F oven for 6–8 minutes.
