Ingredients
1 lb store-bought pizza dough (room temperature)
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon dried parsley
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1.5 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
Optional: 2 slices finely diced turkey bacon
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
On a lightly floured surface, stretch or roll your dough into a 10×12 inch rectangle.
Use a pizza cutter to slice the dough into 8 even strips.
In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, minced garlic, dried parsley, and garlic powder.
Place the strips on the baking sheet about an inch apart and brush each strip generously with the garlic butter mixture.
If using turkey bacon, sprinkle the finely diced pieces over the top now.
Bake for 8 minutes.
Carefully remove the pan, sprinkle generously with mozzarella and parmesan, then bake for another 5-7 minutes until the cheese is bubbling and golden.
Notes
Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in an air fryer or oven at 350°F to restore the crispy bottom. You can substitute mozzarella with a blend of cheddar and provolone if desired.
