Tools You’ll Need

• Rolling pin
• Small mixing bowls
• Pastry brush
• Baking sheet
• Parchment paper or silicone baking mat

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Preheat Oven & Prepare Baking Sheet
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat for easy cleanup.

Step 2: Flatten the Bread
Place each slice of bread on a flat surface.
Use a rolling pin to gently roll each slice until flat and thin (like a tortilla).

Step 3: Add the Cheese Filling
Sprinkle a mix of mozzarella, cheddar, and Parmesan evenly over each slice.
Leave a small border around the edges to prevent overflow when rolling.

Step 4: Roll & Seal
Roll each slice tightly from one end to the other, forming a log.
Press gently to seal the edges. You can use a bit of melted butter to help seal them if needed.

Step 5: Make the Garlic Butter
In a small bowl, combine melted butter, minced garlic, garlic powder, parsley, and salt.
Mix well to infuse the butter with flavor.

Step 6: Brush and Bake
Place the rollups seam side down on the prepared baking sheet.
Brush each rollup generously with the garlic butter mixture.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown and the cheese is melted inside.

Step 7: Serve and Enjoy
Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce. Perfect as a party snack, appetizer, or side for pasta night.

Tips for Perfect Rollups
Flatten Bread Evenly – This helps them roll tightly and crisp up evenly.
Seal Well – Use butter or a slight press to keep them from unrolling.
Don’t Overfill – Too much cheese can cause them to burst open.
Use Fresh Garlic – For the most robust garlic flavor in the butter.
Serve Immediately – Best enjoyed fresh and warm from the oven.

Serving Suggestions
Party Platter – Pair with a trio of dipping sauces for an appetizer everyone will love.
Pasta Night Side – Serve alongside spaghetti or lasagna for a cheesy garlic bread upgrade.
Soup Companion – Dip into tomato basil, chicken noodle, or minestrone.
After-School Snack – Easy for kids to grab and munch.
Breakfast Twist – Add scrambled eggs and spinach before rolling for a morning version.
