  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon granulated garlic
  • β…› teaspoon kosher salt
  • β…› teaspoon black pepper
  • ΒΌ cup grated parmesan cheese divided

Instructions

  • Rest the dough on the counter for 45 minutes to 1 hour until it comes to room temperature.
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Gently stretch the rested dough into a rough 9-inch by-13-inch rectangle and place it on the prepared baking sheet.
  • In a small bowl, combine the Italian seasoning, granulated garlic, salt and pepper. Stir in 2 tablespoons of olive oil until combined.
  • Brush the seasoning mixture evenly across the top of the stretched dough. Use a pizza cutter to cut the dough in half lengthwise, then cut into even strips.
  • Sprinkle about 2 tablespoons of the parmesan cheese over the dough. Bake for 15 to 17 minutes, until golden and cooked through.
  • Remove from oven and immediately brush on the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Sprinkle on the rest of the parmesan cheese. Pull apart and serve warm with pizza sauce or marinara for dipping.

Notes

This recipe works well with one ball of my Overnight Pizza Dough or Sourdough Pizza Dough. Store-bought refrigerated dough works, too. Just make sure to remove it from the bag or packaging and cover it on the counter to come to room temperature before stretching.
