Third, place a cube of mozzarella cheese in the middle of each dough ball and flatten it. Pinch the edges of the dough to close it and roll it into a ball before folding it over the cheese.
4. Mix the cheese, garlic powder and Italian seasoning in a small dish.
Roll the dough into balls and top each with the garlic butter mixture. Place them on a preheated baking sheet.
6. Top the dough balls evenly with grated Parmesan cheese.
7. Bake the dough for 15 to 18 minutes in a preheated oven, or until golden brown and cooked through.
After 8 minutes in the oven, remove it and, if desired, garnish with chopped fresh parsley. Reheat before serving.
Tips and Variations
If you want to add a special touch, try using cheddar or gouda instead. To make each dough ball even more flavorful, stuff it with a piece of pepperoni or fried bacon. Garlic butter with a touch of red pepper flakes for a spicier kick.
