I may not know anything about football, but if there was a football game day food superbowl, these would devour the competition 😉

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
   Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Prepare the Dough & Filling:
   Unroll the pizza dough from both cans and cut each sheet into 12 even squares (24 total). Set aside.

3. Assemble the Buns:
   Place 1 teaspoon of BBQ sauce in the center of each dough square. Add a piece of mozzarella (1/3 of a string cheese stick) and a heaping teaspoon of chopped brisket on top. Fold the corners of the dough over the filling and pinch the edges to seal, forming a ball.

4. Shape the Football:
   Arrange the filled dough balls on the parchment-lined tray in the shape of a football. Start from the outer edges, working your way toward the center. (Refer to a video or image for guidance if needed.)

5. Egg Wash & Bake:
   Brush the tops of the dough balls with the beaten egg. Sprinkle flaky salt on top if desired. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the buns are golden brown and cooked through.

6. Make Garlic Herb Butter:
   While the buns bake, combine melted butter, Parmesan, minced garlic, parsley, basil, and salt & pepper in a small bowl.

7. Finish & Garnish:
   After the buns are done baking, immediately brush them with the garlic herb butter. For extra flair, garnish with crispy bacon for a "red" touch and shredded cheddar for "gold" color.

8. Serve:
   Place slices of cheese (sliced mozzarella sticks) in the center to resemble the football laces and serve with extra BBQ sauce on the side for dipping.
