Ingredients
3 cups all-purpose flour
2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
1 cup warm water (110°F)
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons olive oil
4 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
4 cloves garlic minced
2 tablespoons fresh parsley finely chopped
1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese optional
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese optional
Instructions
1. In a large bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let sit 5–10 minutes until foamy.
2. Add flour, salt, and olive oil. Mix until dough forms. Knead 8–10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
3. Place dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover, and let rise 1 hour or until doubled in size.
4. In a small bowl, mix melted butter, minced garlic, parsley, and Italian seasoning.
5. Punch down dough and divide into 20–24 equal pieces. Roll into balls.
6. Dip each dough ball into garlic butter and arrange in a greased round pan in a ring shape.
7. Sprinkle parmesan or mozzarella between layers if using.
8. Cover loosely and let rise 20–30 minutes until puffy.
9. Bake at 375°F for 20–25 minutes until golden brown.
10. Brush with remaining garlic butter after baking and serve warm.
Notes
For extra flavor, roast the garlic before mixing it into the butter.
If using store-bought pizza dough, skip the first rise to save time.
Reheat leftovers in the oven at 300°F to keep the texture soft and fresh.
