Ingredients
Scale
- 1 package pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (melted)
- 4 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (chopped)
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- Prepare the Garlic Butter: In a small bowl, combine melted butter, minced garlic, parsley, oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
- Prepare the Dough: Roll out the pizza dough onto the prepared baking sheet to form a rectangular or square shape, depending on your preference. Pinch the edges to create a crust if desired.
- Brush with Garlic Butter: Using a brush or spoon, generously spread the garlic butter mixture over the entire surface of the dough.
- Add Cheese: Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese and grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the dough.
- Bake: Place the dough in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and allow to cool for a few minutes. Cut into fingers or strips and serve warm.
Notes
- You can use any type of cheese you prefer, such as cheddar or a cheese blend, for different variations.
- For an extra kick, you can sprinkle red pepper flakes on top before baking.
- If you prefer a crispier crust, bake for a few extra minutes but keep an eye on it so the cheese doesn’t burn.
