1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
2 cloves garlic, minced

Directions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a large rectangle, approximately 12×14 inches.
Spread the Alfredo sauce evenly over half of the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella over the sauce.
Fold the other half of the dough over the filling, pressing the edges to seal.
Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, slice the filled dough into 1-inch wide strips.
Twist each strip gently and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
In a small bowl, combine the melted butter and minced garlic. Brush this mixture over each twist.
