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:

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly brush with olive oil.
  2. 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.
  3. Place the dough balls on the baking sheet, leaving 1 inch (2.5cm) of space between each.
  4. Bake in the center rack of the oven for 12–15 minutes until the bites puff up and turn light golden brown.
  5. While the bites are baking, melt the butter in a microwave-safe bowl and stir in the minced garlic and dried parsley.
  6. Immediately upon removing the bites from the oven, use a pastry brush to coat each one heavily with the garlic butter.
  7. Toss or sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the wet butter so it adheres to the surface.
  8. Let them sit for 2 minutes to let the cheese set before serving.
