Garlic Butter Bacon Alfredo Pizza Twists
Ingredients
- 1 tube refrigerated pizza dough
- 1/2 cup (120g) Alfredo sauce (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 cup (100g) shredded mozzarella cheese
- 6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 2 tbsp (30g) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- Optional: 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (for topping)
- Optional: Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Prepare the dough:
- Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface into a rectangle (about 12×8 inches).
- Add the toppings:
- Spread the Alfredo sauce evenly over the dough.
- Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese and crumbled bacon over the sauce.
- Fold and twist:
- Fold the dough in half lengthwise, covering the toppings. Press the edges to seal.
- Cut the dough into 1-inch strips using a sharp knife or pizza cutter.
- Twist each strip a few times and place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each twist.
- Add the garlic butter:
- In a small bowl, mix the melted butter, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning.
- Brush the mixture over the tops of the pizza twists.
- Bake:
- Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the twists are golden brown and the cheese is melted.
- Garnish and serve:
- Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley if desired. Serve warm with extra Alfredo sauce for dipping.
Tips
- Add-ins: Include cooked chicken, spinach, or mushrooms for extra flavor.
- Make ahead: Assemble the twists the night before, cover, and refrigerate. Bake them fresh in the morning.
- Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave.
