Baking sheet
parchment paper
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 16 oz frozen pizza dough
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 tbsp minced garlic
- 2 tsp Italian herb blend
- 1 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
Step 3: Prepare Your Baking Sheet
Step 4: Roll Out the Dough
Once the dough has thawed, turn it onto a lightly floured surface. Roll it out into a rectangle that matches your baking sheet’s size. Aim for about half an inch thick. If it resists, don’t hesitate to let it rest for a few minutes before continuing.
Step 5: Melt the Butter and Mix in Garlic
While you’re rolling out the dough, melt the unsalted butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Once melted, add the minced garlic, Italian herb blend, and crushed red pepper flakes. Stir until combined and fragrant. This mixture enhances the flavor of the bread.
Step 6: Brush the Dough
Now, using a pastry brush, generously brush the garlic butter mixture all over the surface of the rolled-out dough. Make sure to cover every inch, as this is what adds so much flavor to your cheese bread.
- Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh garlic will elevate the flavor. If you have fresh herbs, feel free to chop some up to enhance the taste.
- Don’t Overload on Cheese: While cheese is the star, too much can make it greasy. Stick to the recommended amounts for the best texture.
- Experiment with Seasonings: Feel free to add your touch. Italian seasoning works well, or try adding a few different types of cheese for added flavor.
- Cook from Frozen: If you’re in a hurry, a frozen dough can be baked straight from the freezer. Just add a bit more baking time.
- Perfect Pizzazz: Add toppings like sliced olives, bell peppers, or pepperoni before baking for a fun twist.
