Soft bread becomes crisp rollups with garlic butter and melted cheese, perfect for dipping and sharing.

# List of Ingredients:

→ For the Rollups

01 - 8 slices white or whole wheat sandwich bread, crusts removed
02 - 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
03 - 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
04 - 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

→ For the Garlic Butter

05 - 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
06 - 2 cloves fresh garlic, minced
07 - 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
08 - 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley or 1 teaspoon dried parsley
09 - 1/4 teaspoon salt

→ Optional Dipping Sauces

10 - Marinara sauce, for serving
11 - Garlic herb sauce, for serving
12 - Ranch dressing, for serving
13 - Spicy ketchup, for serving

# Preparation Steps:

01 - Preheat oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
02 - Gently roll out each bread slice with a rolling pin until uniformly thin for proper texture and sealing.
03 - Evenly distribute mozzarella and cheddar along the lower third of each slice. Roll bread tightly from the cheese side up to form a neat log. Seal the seam with a touch of melted butter if needed.
04 - In a small bowl, combine melted butter, minced garlic, garlic powder, parsley, and salt, stirring until fully blended.
05 - Arrange rollups seam side down on the prepared baking sheet. Brush each generously with the garlic butter mixture.
06 - Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until rollups are golden and crisp. For air frying, cook at 360°F for 8 to 10 minutes, turning halfway through for even color.
07 - Let rollups cool slightly before serving with your preferred dipping sauces for best flavor and texture.

# Additional Suggestions:

01 - Flattening the bread is crucial for achieving a crisp texture and ensuring the rollups remain sealed during baking.
02 - Day-old bread creates a crunchier exterior.
03 - Wait to brush with garlic butter until just before baking for optimal crispness.
