Ingredients
Scale
Base
- 1 Can Pillsbury Thin Pizza Dough
- 3 tablespoons Butter, melted
Seasoning
- Salt and Pepper, to taste
- 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian Seasoning
Cheese
- ¼ Cup Parmesan Cheese, grated
- 1.5 Cups Mozzarella Cheese, hand shredded
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for baking the cheesy bread.
- Prepare Dough: Lay the pizza dough on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and roll it out into a thin rectangle to ensure even baking.
- Butter and Season: Using a pastry brush, spread the melted butter evenly over the dough reaching all the edges, then season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning to infuse flavor throughout.
- Add Cheese: Sprinkle grated Parmesan and shredded mozzarella evenly across the dough for a rich cheesy topping.
- Bake Bread: Place the baking sheet in the center rack of the oven and bake for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the dough is fully cooked.
- Slice and Serve: Optionally garnish with dried parsley for color, then slice the bread horizontally once, followed by vertical cuts about 1 to 1.5 inches apart. Serve warm and enjoy.
Notes
- For a crispier crust, roll the dough thinner or bake slightly longer, watching closely to prevent burning.
- You can substitute mozzarella with any melting cheese like cheddar or provolone based on preference.
- Adding fresh herbs like basil or oregano before baking can elevate the flavor further.
- Store leftovers wrapped tightly and reheat in the oven to restore crispness.
- This recipe can be doubled or tripled for larger groups.
