Ingredients

Units Scale

For the Dough:

  • 1 cup (240ml) warm water (110°F/45°C)
  • 2 tablespoons (25g) sugar
  • 2 teaspoons (7g) active dry yeast
  • 3 cups (360g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon (5g) salt
  • 1/4 cup (57g) unsalted butter, melted

For the Topping:

  • 2 teaspoons (10g) garlic powder
  • 2 cups (240g) shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 teaspoon (5g) Italian seasoning

Instructions

  1. Activate Yeast:
    In a small bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.
  2. Make the Dough:
    In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Add the yeast mixture and melted butter, mixing until a dough forms.
  3. Knead the Dough:
    Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for 5 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  4. Let It Rise:
    Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp towel, and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
  5. Prepare the Oven:
    Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Lightly grease or line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  6. Shape the Dough:
    Roll the dough out directly onto the prepared baking sheet to your desired thickness, approximately 1/4 to 1/2 inch.
  7. Add Toppings:
    Brush the dough with melted butter, sprinkle evenly with garlic powder, and top with shredded mozzarella cheese. Finish with a sprinkle of Italian seasoning.
  8. Bake:
    Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  9. Cut and Serve:
    Once out of the oven, let cool slightly, then cut into breadstick-sized pieces. Serve warm with marinara or your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

  • Customize Your Toppings: Add parmesan, cheddar, or fresh herbs like parsley for extra flavor.
  • Perfect Pairing: Serve with marinara, garlic butter, or ranch dressing.
  • Storage Tips: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven for the best texture.
