Prepare the Oven
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a baking dish or baking sheet with olive oil and set aside.
Make the Garlic Butter
Melt the butter in a small saucepan or microwave-safe bowl. Stir in the garlic, parsley, Italian seasoning, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes if using. Set aside.
Shape the Cheese Bombs
Unroll the pizza dough and cut it into 12 equal pieces. Flatten each piece into a small circle. Place 1–2 tablespoons of the cheese mixture in the center. Pinch the edges tightly to seal and roll gently into a ball.
Assemble and Bake
Place the dough balls seam-side down in the prepared pan. Brush generously with garlic butter. Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until puffed and golden brown.
Finish and Serve
Brush the hot cheese bombs with more garlic butter straight from the oven. Let cool for 2–3 minutes before serving.
