Servings: 48
Ingredients
Pizza Dough
- 1 ¼ cups warm water
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 2 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 ½-3 ½ cups bread flour or all-purpose flour
Optional Store Bought Pizza Dough
- 1 package pizza dough This is used in place of above ingredients if you don't want to make the pizza dough.
Butter garlic parmesan
- ⅓ cup melted butter
- ¼ cup olive oil
- ½ cup parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
- If you are making the pizza dough, follow the next 4 steps. If you are using store-bought pizza dough, skip the next couple steps.
Make the Pizza Dough
- Combine the water and yeast in a bowl. Mix gently and let it sit for 3-5 minutes.
- Add in the olive oil, salt, and 2 ½ cups of flour. Mix for 2 minutes. If you need to, add in more flour. I used about 3 cups in mine, but this will depend on humidity in your area, flour, etc.
- Once the dough has enough water in it, mix for 6 minutes until it is smooth. If you are kneading by hand, this may take a little longer.
- Cover and let it rise until it is doubled.
Roll and Cut Bread Bites
- Roll into 1-inch ropes. If you are using premade dough, cut it into 1-inch strips.
- Then cut each rope into 1-inch pieces. Place on a baking sheet. Spray first or use parchment paper. Combine the butter mixture. Working in batches add the bites to the butter and turn over to coat. Place them on the baking sheet.
- Let them rise for at least 20 minutes in a warm place. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees while they are rising.
- Bake for about 12-15 minutes until they are golden brown. Remove from the oven and brush with the remaining butter mixture and sprinkle with the last of the parmesan. I also sprinkled them with a touch of finely chopped parsley, this is optional though.
- That is it! They are done and ready to serve.
Notes
Be sure to check the full post above for more tips, serving ideas, variations and more!
- I like to use a blend of parmesan and asiago cheese for my bites. I love the combo. You do not have to do this though, they are still really delicious with just the parmesan.
- If you like really like garlic, you can add lots of garlic flavor by using minced garlic in place of garlic powder. I usually use the powder as the minced garlic sometimes will burn a bit when you cook it at high temps like this. But, it is up to you!
- if you want a little spice, you can always mix in about ½-1 teaspoon of red pepper flakes with your spices.
- It is easiest to brush the bites with the butter mixture using a pastry brush.
- If you want, you can also use a greased baking sheet instead of a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- This recipe will also work for garlic knots as well. Roll the dough into 1-inch ropes that are about 4 inches long. Twist into a knot and brush with the butter mixture.
- You can also chop up and add fresh herbs to the butter sauce as well. I like using oregano, basil, and thyme.
- An air fryer can also be used to cook these. I do not own one, so can't give you the specifics, but they can be used.
