Instructions
a) Preheat your oven to 200°C/180°C fan/gas mark 6.
b) Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press). Roughly chop the parsley (stalks and all).
c) In a small saucepan on medium heat, combine the butter (see pantry for amount) and garlic until the butter has melted, 1-2 mins. Take off the heat.
d) Season generously with salt and pepper. Mix through the sun-dried tomato paste, then set aside for now.
a) Chop the cheese into 15-20 equal sized pieces.
b) Divide the pizza dough into the same number of pieces as you have cheese.
c) Flatten each piece of dough, then pop a piece of cheese in the centre.
d) Bring the edges of the dough together to enclose the cheese, pinching any gaps together so there are no holes.
e) Roll into balls.
a) Pop the sun-dried tomato and garlic butter into a large bowl, then mix in three quarters of the parsley.
b) Carefully add the dough balls to the bowl and toss to coat them in the butter, then pop into a lined 20cm round baking tin in a single layer.
c) Pour over any remaining garlic butter, then pop into the oven until risen and golden, 23-25 mins.
a) While the dough balls bake, combine in a small bowl the pesto and mayonnaise (see pantry for amount).
b) Once baked, allow the dough balls to cool slightly before removing from the tin without breaking them apart. Place onto a serving board.
c) Sprinkle over the remaining parsley and serve the pesto mayo alongside for dipping.
Enjoy!

Review summary
Updated on Feb 2026- Flavour: Some found the flavour underwhelming, particularly noting a lack of tomato taste.
- Suggestions: Consider using mozzarella or another cheese instead of cheddar for the filling.
- Texture: Ensure the dough rises properly; some found the balls too crisp without enough rise.
