Ingredients
Scale
Dough
- 1 refrigerated pizza dough (store bought or homemade)
Topping and Seasoning
- 1/3 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 5 tbsp butter, melted
- 2 cloves garlic, minced (or 1/2 tsp garlic powder)
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 tsp dried parsley, chopped
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning (or dried oregano)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for baking the bread bites.
- Prepare Garlic Butter Mixture: In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, minced garlic, salt, dried parsley, and Italian seasoning. Mix well to blend all the flavors.
- Cut the Dough: Roll out the refrigerated pizza dough on a lightly floured surface and cut it into small bite-sized pieces, about 1 to 1.5 inches each.
- Brush with Garlic Butter: Place the dough pieces on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Generously brush each piece with the prepared garlic butter mixture.
- Sprinkle Parmesan Cheese: Sprinkle the grated parmesan cheese evenly over all the dough bites to ensure each gets a cheesy topping.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15 minutes, or until the bread bites are golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve Warm: Remove from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm with marinara sauce for dipping.
Notes
- For a stronger garlic flavor, use fresh minced garlic instead of garlic powder.
- These bread bites are perfect to serve with marinara or any favorite dipping sauce.
- You can substitute parsley with fresh chopped basil or omit it if unavailable.
- If refrigerated dough is not available, homemade pizza dough can be used as a substitute.
- Make sure to brush the bites generously with garlic butter for the best flavor and golden crust.
