Parmesan Bread Bites are soft, buttery, and cheesy dough pieces brushed with garlic-parmesan butter and seasoned with Italian herbs. Perfect for snacking or dipping in marinara sauce, these bite-sized treats come together quickly using store-bought or homemade pizza dough.
Ingredients
Scale
Dough
- 1 refrigerated pizza dough (store bought or homemade)
Butter Garlic Topping
- 5 tbsp butter (melted)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced or 1/2 tsp garlic powder)
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 tsp dried parsley (chopped)
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning (or dried oregano)
- 1/3 cup parmesan cheese (grated)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius) to prepare for baking the bread bites.
- Prepare Dough: Roll out the refrigerated pizza dough on a lightly floured surface into a rectangle about 12x9 inches.
- Cut Dough: Using a knife or pizza cutter, cut the dough into small bite-sized squares, approximately 1 to 1.5 inches each, to yield about 35 bites.
- Mix Garlic Butter: In a small bowl, combine melted butter, minced garlic, salt, dried parsley, and Italian seasoning. Stir until well mixed.
- Brush Bites: Place the dough squares on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush each piece generously with the garlic butter mixture.
- Add Parmesan: Sprinkle grated parmesan cheese evenly over the buttered dough bites for a cheesy topping.
- Bake: Bake the bites in the preheated oven for 15 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Serve with marinara sauce for dipping if desired.
Notes
- For a stronger garlic flavor, use fresh minced garlic instead of garlic powder.
- You can substitute Italian seasoning with dried oregano or basil.
- Store leftover bread bites in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
- Reheat the bites in the oven or air fryer for a few minutes to restore crispiness.
- These bites are perfect as an appetizer or snack alongside soup or salad.
