Garlic Parmesan Bread Bites
Inspired by Domino's Parmesan Bread Bites, these little nuggets of baked pizza dough are bursting with garlic, butter & parmesan cheese...what's not to love?
Servings: 24 bread bites
Ingredients
- Half of one 13.8 oz tube refrigerated classic pizza crust (or about ½ lb of your favorite pizza dough)
- 3 tablespoon melted butter, divided
- About ½ teaspoon garlic salt, divided
- About 2-3 tablespoon parmesan cheese (I used Parmigiano Reggiano), finely grated
- ¼ teaspoon dried parsley
- ⅓ cup marinara or pizza sauce, for dipping
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Unroll the pizza dough and cut into 1 ½ inch strips. Roll each strip into a log about the diameter of your finger. Cut each log into 1 inch nuggets. Arrange the dough nuggets evenly on a baking sheet lightly sprayed with cooking spray. Brush 1 tablespoon melted butter over the dough nuggets, sprinkle lightly with garlic salt (about ¼ tsp), and grate a little bit of parmesan cheese over top (about 1 Tbsp).
- Bake for about 14 minutes, rotating pan halfway through cooking time, until lightly golden brown (do not over bake or the dough will get very tough).
- Mix the remaining ¼ teaspoon garlic salt and ¼ teaspoon parsley with the remaining 2 tablespoon melted butter. Brush the butter mixture liberally over the bread bites. Scoot the pieces together on the pan and grate more parmesan cheese over top (about 1-2 Tbsp). Transfer to a platter and serve with marinara or pizza sauce for dipping.
Notes
This recipe can very easily be doubled to use the entire pizza crust. I only made a half batch because there are only two of us, and also I made & ate a LOT of these while testing the recipe. As much as I would love to eat my weight in buttery bread bites - my waistline would not love it. 😜
