Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
   Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

2. Prepare the dough:
   Roll out the pizza dough into a large rectangle, about 1/4 inch thick.

3. Assemble the filling:

   • Spread a thin layer of Alfredo sauce over half of the dough (lengthwise).

   • Sprinkle evenly with mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, chopped bacon, and Italian seasoning.

4. Fold and cut:

   • Fold the plain half of the dough over the filled half.

   • Gently press down to seal.

   • Use a sharp knife or pizza cutter to cut the dough into strips about 1 to 1½ inches wide.

5. Twist and arrange:

   • Take each strip, twist it a few times, and place it on the prepared baking sheet.

   • Leave a little space between each twist for expansion while baking.

6. Brush with garlic butter:

   • Mix the melted butter and minced garlic.

   • Brush the tops of the twists generously with the garlic butter.

7. Bake:

   • Bake for 12–15 minutes, until golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

8. Finish:

   • Once out of the oven, brush with more garlic butter and sprinkle with fresh parsley, if desired.

Tips:
