- 2 tbsp ranch seasoning (store-bought or homemade)

Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Preheat & Prep
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) . Lightly grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper.
Step 2: Make the Filling
- In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella, cheddar cheese, cream cheese, sour cream, ranch seasoning, garlic powder (if using), and crumbled bacon. Mix until smooth and well combined.
Step 3: Roll Out the Dough
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a rectangle about 12x16 inches.
- Spread the bacon ranch filling evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
Step 4: Roll & Slice
- Starting from one long side, tightly roll the dough into a log. Pinch the seam to seal.
- Use a sharp knife or dental floss to cut the log into 12–15 equal slices. Place the rolls cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart.
Step 5: Bake
- Brush the tops of the rolls with melted butter and sprinkle with ranch seasoning for extra flavor.
- Bake for 18–22 minutes , or until the rolls are golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
Step 6: Garnish & Serve
- Let the rolls cool for 5 minutes before garnishing with chopped parsley. Serve warm with extra ranch dressing for dipping.
