Ingredients
Dough:
1 pound refrigerated pizza dough
Garlic Butter:
2 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
Seasonings:
1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Cheese:
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese, 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (optional)
Serving:
Marinara sauce for dipping (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Prepare Dough: Roll out the pizza dough into a rectangle about ½ inch thick and transfer it to the prepared baking sheet.
- Season and Bake: Brush the melted butter evenly over the dough, sprinkle garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and mozzarella cheese if using. Bake for 12–15 minutes until golden brown.
- Finish and Serve: Remove from the oven, sprinkle with Parmesan cheese, let cool slightly, then cut into strips. Serve warm with marinara sauce on the side if desired.
Notes
- You can use fresh garlic for a stronger flavor by sautéing it in the melted butter.
- For extra crispiness, bake directly on a preheated pizza stone.
