Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a rectangle approximately 12 by 8 inches.
In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper.
Brush the garlic butter mixture evenly over the surface of the rolled-out dough.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the top of the buttered dough.
Starting from one of the longer edges, carefully roll the dough into a tight log shape.
Place the rolled dough seam side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Using a sharp knife, make 1-inch cuts along the roll, slicing almost through but leaving the bottom intact to keep the roll together.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving.
