Ingredients
Scale
- 1 loaf of French bread (or 8–10 pieces of small baguette-style bread)
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (or 1 tablespoon dried parsley)
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- Salt to taste
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
- ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional, for a little heat)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- Prepare the Garlic Butter: In a small bowl, combine the softened butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, oregano, salt, and crushed red pepper flakes (if using). Mix until the ingredients are well combined.
- Prepare the Bread: Slice the French bread loaf into 1-inch thick slices, or cut smaller pieces from a baguette. If using a larger loaf, slice each piece in half lengthwise, then spread each piece with the garlic butter mixture. If you’re using smaller baguette pieces, you can spread butter directly on each piece.
- Assemble the Roll-Ups: After spreading the garlic butter on the bread slices, sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the buttered side of each slice. Add a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese if desired.
- Roll the Bread: Gently roll each bread slice tightly, like a mini cinnamon roll or burrito. Place the roll-ups seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake the Roll-Ups: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the bread is golden and the cheese is melted and bubbly. The garlic butter should be fragrant, and the bread should be slightly crispy on the outside.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and allow to cool for a few minutes before serving. Optionally, garnish with additional chopped parsley for a pop of color.
- Optional: Serve with marinara sauce or a creamy dipping sauce on the side for extra flavor.
Notes
- You can use any type of bread for this recipe, but French bread or a baguette works best due to its soft inside and crunchy exterior.
- For extra cheesy garlic bread roll-ups, add more mozzarella to the filling.
- If you want a spicier kick, drizzle a little hot sauce over the rolls after baking or add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the garlic butter mixture.
