Ingredients
Scale
For the Bread
- 1 Can Pillsbury Thin Pizza Dough
- 3 Tbs Butter, melted
- Salt and Pepper, to taste
- 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian Seasoning
- ¼ Cup Parmesan Cheese, grated
- 1.5 Cups Mozzarella Cheese, hand shredded
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure it is at the right temperature for baking the cheesy bread evenly.
- Prepare Dough: Lay out the pizza dough on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roll the dough out into a thin rectangular shape to create the base for the cheesy topping.
- Butter and Season: Brush the melted butter all over the surface of the rolled-out dough, making sure to cover it completely to help achieve a golden crust. Sprinkle salt, pepper, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning evenly across the buttered dough.
- Add Cheese: Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese followed by the shredded mozzarella evenly over the seasoned dough, ensuring good coverage for maximum cheesiness.
- Bake: Place the prepared dough on the center rack of the preheated oven. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and melted and the dough is cooked through and golden brown on the edges.
- Slice and Serve: Optionally, garnish the cheesy bread with some dried parsley for color and flavor. Slice once horizontally, then cut vertically into strips about one to one and a half inches apart. Serve warm and enjoy this delicious cheesy bread as a perfect appetizer or snack.
Notes
- Using parchment paper helps prevent sticking and makes cleanup easier.
- For extra flavor, consider adding a sprinkle of red pepper flakes before baking.
- Fresh garlic can be used instead of garlic powder for a more robust garlic taste.
- Serve with marinara sauce or ranch dressing for dipping.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat in the oven to keep the bread crispy.
