Ingredients

  • 1 lb pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ½ cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven
Set the oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure even baking.

2. Prepare the Dough
Roll out the pizza dough into a rectangle, about ¼-inch thick, on a lightly floured surface.

3. Make the Garlic Butter
In a small bowl, mix the melted butter with minced garlic, salt, and black pepper.

4. Brush & Add Cheese
Brush the garlic butter evenly over the dough, covering every edge. Sprinkle the mozzarella and parmesan cheese over the top, ensuring even distribution.

5. Season & Slice
Sprinkle Italian seasoning over the cheese layer. Use a pizza cutter to slice the dough into 1-inch wide strips before baking.

6. Bake Until Golden
Transfer the strips to a lined baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.

7. Garnish & Serve
Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over the cheese fingers and serve warm with marinara sauce or garlic dip.

✔ Try Different Cheeses – Mix in cheddar or provolone for extra flavor.
