Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 package store-bought pizza dough or soft bread dough about 1 pound
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 cup shredded cheese cheddar or mozzarella blend
  • 1 pinch salt optional, for garlic butter

Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Baking sheet
  • Paddle or spoon for mixing
  • Basting brush

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet to prevent sticking.
  2. On a clean surface, gently stretch or roll the dough into a rectangular shape about ½ inch thick. This helps it bake evenly and forms a good base for toppings.
  3. In a small bowl, mix the melted butter with the minced garlic and a pinch of salt if desired. This aromatic garlic butter will soak into the dough and add flavor.
  4. Use a basting brush to evenly spread the garlic butter all over the dough's surface, covering every corner for maximum flavor.
  5. Sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the coated dough, pressing down gently to help it adhere and distribute uniformly.
  6. Transfer the topped dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for about 12 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown, and the edges have crisped up nicely.
  7. Remove from oven and let it sit for a minute. Slice into strips or squares for easy sharing and savor the crisp, cheesy, buttery bread while it's warm and inviting.

Notes

For extra flavor, sprinkle with dried herbs like oregano or parsley before baking.
