Calories: 213kcal
Ingredients
- 4 oz. Cabot Pepper Jack or Monterey Jack cheese
- 24 oz. pizza dough homemade or store-bought
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 3 Tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 Tbsp Parmesan cheese grated
- 1 tsp garlic minced
- ¾ tsp Italian seasoning
- ½ tsp kosher salt
Instructions
- Spray muffin tin with nonstick spray; set aside.
- Cut cheese into ¼” cubes; set cheese aside.
- Divide the pizza dough into 12 equal pieces (~2 oz. each).
- Cut each piece of dough into 5 pieces. Using a circular motion, roll each piece of dough between countertop and palm of your hand until dough ball becomes tight.
- Place 3 balls of dough into bottom of each muffin cup. Place 2-3 cubes of cheese on top of dough balls. Place 2 remaining balls of dough on top of cheese. Brush tops of dough with olive oil.
- Cover pan and place in a warm location for 1 hour, or until dough has risen ~1” over top of pan. (Tip: For a warm location, I put the pan in my oven with just the oven light on.)
- Once dough has risen, bake at 350°F for 28-30 minutes, or until tops of garlic bread are lightly browned.
- While garlic bread is baking, melt the butter and stir in the Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, Italian seasoning and kosher salt.
- Remove garlic bread from oven and brush with the garlic butter mixture. Serve hot.
