A quick and delicious garlic bread made using ready-made pizza dough, perfect as a side or appetizer. Crispy on the outside, soft and buttery on the inside with a rich garlic and herb flavor.
1 pound store-bought pizza dough
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a rectangle approximately 12 by 8 inches.
In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper.
Brush the garlic butter mixture evenly over the rolled-out dough.
Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the top.
Starting from one of the longer edges, tightly roll the dough into a log shape.
Place the rolled dough seam side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Using a sharp knife, cut the log into 1-inch thick slices, but do not separate them completely; keep the slices close together.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and cooked through.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 2 minutes before serving warm.
