Ingredients
Scale
- 1 package refrigerated pizza dough (about 13.8 oz)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- ½ cup cooked bacon, crumbled
- ½ cup Alfredo sauce (store-bought or homemade)
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat for easy cleanup.
- Prepare the dough: Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface into a rectangle, approximately 12×8 inches. Brush the dough with melted butter, ensuring it’s well coated.
- Season the dough: Sprinkle the garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper evenly over the buttered dough.
- Add cheese and bacon: Evenly sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese and crumbled bacon over the dough.
- Cut and twist: Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, cut the dough into 1-inch strips. Twist each strip several times to form a spiral shape, then place the twists on the prepared baking sheet, spaced about 1 inch apart.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the pizza twists are golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
- Top with Alfredo sauce: Once baked, remove the pizza twists from the oven. Drizzle with Alfredo sauce over the top or serve as a dipping sauce on the side.
- Garnish and serve: Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes
- You can use homemade Alfredo sauce or a store-bought variety depending on your preference.
- For a twist on flavor, try adding crushed red pepper flakes to the seasoning mix for a hint of spice.
- If you prefer a more crispy texture, broil the pizza twists for the last 2 minutes of baking.
- These pizza twists are best served fresh, but they can also be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
