Equipment

  • Baking Sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Small bowl
  • Whisk
  • Pizza cutter or sharp knife
  • Measuring spoons
  • Measuring cups
  • Oven

Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 4 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley optional
  • Pinch of red pepper flakes optional
  • Marinara sauce, for dipping optional
  • Garlic butter sauce, for dipping optional
  • Ranch dressing, for dipping optional

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Open the pizza dough and place it on a lightly floured surface.
  • Gently stretch or roll the dough into a large rectangle, about 12x16 inches.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
  • Brush the olive oil mixture evenly over the entire surface of the dough.
  • Using a pizza cutter or a sharp knife, cut the dough into approximately 1-inch squares.
  • Arrange the bread bites on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, leaving a little space between each.
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the bread bites are golden brown and slightly puffy.
  • While the bread bites are baking, prepare the Parmesan topping. In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, minced garlic, Parmesan cheese, parsley (if using), and red pepper flakes (if using).
  • Once the bread bites are out of the oven, immediately brush them generously with the Parmesan topping.
  • Return the bread bites to the oven for another 2-3 minutes, just until the Parmesan is melted and bubbly. Watch carefully to avoid burning.
  • Remove the bread bites from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
  • Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce, such as marinara, garlic butter, or ranch.

Notes

For best results, use freshly grated Parmesan cheese. Store leftover bread bites in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or freeze for up to 2 months. Reheat in the oven or microwave until warm. For extra flavor, add a sprinkle of mozzarella cheese along with the Parmesan topping.
