Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound fresh pizza dough
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter room temperature
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/3 cup parsley chopped
  • 1/3 cup basil chopped
  • 1/4 cup rosemary leaves chopped
  • 1 teaspoon thyme leaves
  • 1 cup shredded Italian cheeses (parmesan, asiago, romano)

Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Sharp Knife or Pizza Cutter
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and let the pizza dough sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the room temperature butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, basil, rosemary, and thyme. Mix well until all the herbs are coated.
  3. Roll out the fresh pizza dough into a rectangle about 1/2 inch thick, then cut the dough into squares, roughly 2 inches by 2 inches.
  4. Spread a small amount of the herb and garlic mixture on each square, add a pinch of shredded cheese, and stack another square on top. Repeat until you have a stack of squares, then place them upright in a greased baking dish or on the lined baking sheet.
  5. Cover the dough stacks with a clean kitchen towel and let them rest for about 15-20 minutes. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
  6. Let the bread cool for a few minutes before serving warm, pulling apart each piece to enjoy the gooey cheese and herbs.

Notes

  • For a twist, try using different herbs like oregano or dill.
  • Any melty cheese works; consider mozzarella or cheddar for a different flavor.
  • Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
