Instructions

Preheat the oven – Set to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or grease a round baking dish.
Prepare the dough – Roll the pizza dough into small, even-sized balls (about 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter). You should get around 16-20 balls.
Make the garlic butter – In a small bowl, mix melted butter, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper.
Coat the dough – Toss the dough balls in the garlic butter mixture until well coated. If using mozzarella cheese, gently roll some of the dough balls in the cheese.
Shape the wreath – Arrange the dough balls in a circular shape on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a small space in the center. Slightly touch each ball to the next to form a wreath.
Brush with egg wash – Whisk together the egg and water, then brush over the dough balls for a golden finish.
Bake – Place in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Add finishing touches – Sprinkle with grated Parmesan and fresh parsley while still warm.
Serve – Place a small bowl of warm marinara sauce in the center for dipping. Enjoy!

Notes

Use refrigerated biscuit dough for an even quicker version.
Stuff some dough balls with cheese for a gooey surprise inside!
Add a sprinkle of red pepper flakes for a little heat.
