Ingredients
- 1 batch pizza dough (about 1 pound)
- 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it’s hot and ready for baking the bread bites.
- Prepare the dough: Roll out the pizza dough on a clean surface and cut it into 2-inch bite-sized pieces for easy snacking.
- Mix the seasoning: In a bowl, combine the freshly grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning to create a flavorful coating.
- Coat the dough pieces: Brush each piece of dough generously with olive oil, then roll them in the prepared cheese mixture until well coated on all sides.
- Bake the bread bites: Arrange the coated dough pieces on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the bread bites are golden brown and crisp.
- Cool and serve: Let the bread bites cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them warm with marinara sauce or ranch dressing for dipping.
Notes
- You can substitute Italian seasoning with a mix of dried oregano, basil, and thyme if preferred.
- For extra flavor, sprinkle a little extra Parmesan cheese on top before baking.
- Serve immediately for best texture; leftovers can be reheated in the oven to retain crispiness.
- Marinara or ranch sauce pairs perfectly as dips but feel free to use your favorite dipping sauces.
