Cheesy Bacon Stuffed Garlic Bread Wreath

Cheesy Bacon Stuffed Garlic Bread Wreath

Makes 1 wreath

Ingredients:

1 loaf refrigerated pizza dough

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

½ cup shredded cheddar cheese

4 strips bacon, cooked and crumbled

2 tablespoons butter, melted

2 teaspoons garlic powder

2 tablespoons chopped parsley (optional)

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

2. Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface into a large rectangle (about 10x14 inches).

3. Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese, cheddar cheese, and crumbled bacon evenly over the dough.

4. Roll up the dough tightly from the long side, just like you would for cinnamon rolls, to form a log.

5. Pinch the seams to seal the log, then gently shape it into a circle to form a wreath. Pinch the ends together.

6. Using kitchen scissors or a sharp knife, cut slits around the wreath every 2 inches, cutting about ¾ of the way through the dough (don't cut all the way through). Gently twist each section slightly so the cheesy filling peeks out.

7. Brush the entire wreath with the melted butter, then sprinkle with garlic powder.

8. Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.

9. Optional: Brush again with a little more melted butter after baking and sprinkle with chopped parsley.

10. Serve warm and enjoy every gooey, cheesy, bacon-loaded bite!
