Ingredients:
- 16 oz (450g) store-bought pizza dough
- 1 tbsp (15ml) olive oil
- 4 tbsp (56g) unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cloves (6g) garlic, minced very fine
- 1/2 cup (50g) grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp (2g) dried parsley
- 1/4 tsp (1.5g) salt
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly brush with olive oil.
- Divide the pizza dough into 16-20 equal pieces, roughly the size of a ping-pong ball. Roll each piece between your palms until smooth and round.
- Place the dough balls on the baking sheet, leaving 1 inch (2.5cm) of space between each.
- Bake in the center rack of the oven for 12–15 minutes until the bites puff up and turn light golden brown.
- While the bites are baking, melt the butter in a microwave-safe bowl and stir in the minced garlic and dried parsley.
- Immediately upon removing the bites from the oven, use a pastry brush to coat each one heavily with the garlic butter.
- Toss or sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the wet butter so it adheres to the surface.
- Let them sit for 2 minutes to let the cheese set before serving.
