Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 refrigerated pizza dough (store bought or homemade)
- 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 ensure it is hot and ready for baking the bread bites.
- Prepare Dough: Roll out the refrigerated pizza dough on a lightly floured surface and cut into small bite-sized pieces, about 1 inch each.
- Make Garlic Butter: In a small bowl, mix melted butter with minced garlic, salt, dried parsley, and Italian seasoning until well combined.
- Brush Dough Pieces: Using a brush, generously coat each dough piece with the garlic butter mixture on all sides.
- Coat with Parmesan: Sprinkle the grated parmesan cheese evenly over the buttered dough bites to cover them well.
- Bake Bread Bites: Arrange the coated bread bites on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or lightly greased, then bake for 15 minutes or until golden brown.
- Cool and Serve: Remove from oven, let the bread bites cool slightly, and serve warm with marinara sauce for dipping.
Notes
- For a quicker alternative, you can use garlic powder instead of fresh minced garlic.
- These bread bites are perfect served with any marinara or garlic dipping sauce.
- You can substitute dried oregano for Italian seasoning if preferred.
- Make sure not to over-bake; bread bites should be golden but still soft inside.
- Refrigerated pizza dough can be store bought or homemade for best results.
