Method
 

Directions
  1. Prepare Pizza Dough: Start by mixing your pizza dough ingredients together until a soft, elastic dough forms. Allow it to rise in a warm place until it doubles in size, about 1 hour.
  2. Make Garlic Butter: In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt your high-quality butter. Stir in the minced garlic and any optional herbs or spices you prefer, allowing their flavors to meld together for 3-5 minutes.
  3. Shape Bread Bites: Punch down the risen dough and divide it into small portions. Roll each portion into a ball, about the size of a golf ball. Coat each ball generously in the garlic butter and then roll them in the Parmesan cheese until well covered.
  4. Bake: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Arrange the bread bites on a greased baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced evenly. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until they are golden brown and puffed up.
  5. Serve: Once golden, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly. Serve warm, ideally with a side of marinara sauce for dipping.
