Ingredients
1 lb. store-bought or homemade pizza dough
4 tbsp. (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
Kosher salt
All-purpose flour, for surface
1 c. grated Parmesan (4 oz.), divided, plus more for serving
1/4 c. shredded low-moisture part-skim mozzarella
1 tbsp. chopped fresh sage, plus more for serving
1 tbsp. chopped fresh thyme, plus more for serving
Hot honey, for drizzling (optional)
Preparation
Step 1Let pizza dough sit until room temperature if needed, about 1 hour.Step 2Preheat oven to 400°. Line a large baking sheet with parchment.Step 3In a small pot over low heat, melt butter. Add garlic and 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring often, until starting to froth, 4 to 6 minutes. Immediately remove pot from heat and let cool.Step 4On a lightly floured surface, stretch dough to a 9" square. Sprinkle with 1/2 cup Parmesan and gently press cheese into dough with your hands. Using a sharp knife or bench scraper, cut dough into 9 (1"-wide) strips. Separate each strip to keep from sticking. Cut each strip crosswise into 1" pieces.Step 5Arrange dough on prepared sheet in an even layer. Brush with about one-third of garlic butter. Sprinkle with mozzarella, sage, thyme, and remaining 1/2 cup Parmesan.Step 6Bake bread bites until golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes. Immediately brush with remaining garlic butter. Top with more Parmesan, sage, and thyme. Drizzle with hot honey, if using.
Though technically optional, we highly recommend drizzling these bites with hot honey for a delicious balance of savory, spicy, and a touch of sweet. Feel free to use store-bought, or make your own so you can control the heat. Made this? Let us know how it went in the comments section below!
