Equipment

  • mixing bowl
  • baking sheet
  • pastry brush
  • oven

Ingredients
  

  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 cup warm water
  • 2 tsp instant yeast
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 tsp garlic salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp dried oregano
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let sit for 5–10 minutes until foamy.
  • Add flour, salt, and olive oil. Knead until smooth and elastic, about 8–10 minutes.
  • Cover the dough and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
  • While dough rises, melt the butter and mix with garlic, garlic salt, black pepper, and oregano.
  • Preheat oven to 500°F (260°C). Roll dough into a rectangle about 1/2 inch thick and transfer to a greased baking sheet.
  • Brush garlic butter generously over the dough, then sprinkle mozzarella and parmesan evenly on top.
  • Bake for 9–11 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and golden. Cool briefly, slice into fingers, and serve.

Notes

You can save time by using store-bought pizza dough. For extra golden cheese, broil for 1–2 minutes at the end. Avoid overloading with butter to prevent soggy dough. Sprinkle fresh parsley after baking for color and freshness.
