Ingredients

Scale

Base

  • 1 store-bought or homemade pizza dough (about 10x14 inches rolled out)

Garlic Butter

  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced fresh

Sauce & Cheese

  • 1/2 cup Alfredo sauce (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Protein

  • 6 slices bacon, cooked until crispy and chopped into bites

Garnish (Optional)

  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough: Roll out your pizza dough on a lightly floured surface into a large rectangle about 10×14 inches. The dough should be thin enough to twist easily but thick enough to hold the fillings.
  2. Spread Garlic Butter and Alfredo Sauce: Brush the melted garlic butter evenly over the entire surface of the dough, ensuring every inch is covered with that fragrant goodness. Next, spoon and spread the creamy Alfredo sauce on top, leaving a small border around the edges.
  3. Add Bacon and Cheese: Sprinkle the crispy bacon bites evenly across the dough, followed by generous amounts of shredded mozzarella and a light dusting of Parmesan cheese to create a creamy and cheesy layer.
  4. Cut and Twist: Using a pizza cutter or sharp knife, slice the dough into 1-inch wide strips. Then, take each strip and twist it several times to form spirals. Arrange the twists on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, giving them room to puff up during baking.
  5. Bake Until Golden: Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for about 12-15 minutes, or until the twists are golden brown, the cheese is bubbly, and the edges are crisp.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Once out of the oven, sprinkle fresh chopped parsley over the twists for color and a fresh finish. Serve warm immediately and enjoy.

Notes

  • Don’t Overload the Sauce: Too much Alfredo sauce can make the dough soggy, so spread a thin, even layer.
  • Cook Bacon Ahead: Fully cook the bacon to crispy perfection before adding — it prevents greasy twists.
  • Use Fresh Garlic: Fresh minced garlic gives a brighter flavor than pre-minced or garlic powder.
  • Chill the Dough: If your dough is too warm and sticky, refrigerate briefly to make twisting easier.
  • Watch the Oven: Keep an eye on the twists from 10 minutes onward to avoid burning the cheese.
