Cheezzy Garlic Bread

The other day I was searching for something new, aside from cakes  that my kids will surely love to eat. And here what I found out, a perfect pizza dough for cheesy garlic bread. This dough can be also top with pizza sauce,cheese(mozarella,parmesan and other cheese you want) or you can add ham and bacon for some meat lovers and sliced bell peppers, sliced mushrooms for vegetarians. And you will have a real pizza! Let me share you this recipe.

Pizza Dough

Ingredients:
1 cup warm water
2 1/4 tsp yeast
1 tbsp honey
2 tsp salt
2 tbsp canola oil or olive oil
2 1/2-3 cups bread flour ( u can substitute all purpose flour, the amount will depend on humidity)

Directions:
In a large mixing bowl, stir yeast and honey into warm water. Set aside for 5-10 minutes until bubbles form,this indicates that the yeast is active. Pour in salt, oil and half of the flour and mix using your dough hook. If the dough pulls out in the side of the mixing bowl, form it to a round ball and put in a greased bowl. Cover with plastic wrap for 1-2 hours. And that's it! Rolled on the flat surface and make a round shape.

For cheesy garlic bread:

1/2 recipe of Pizza Dough
2 tbsp softened salted butter
2 cloves minced garlic
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup grated mozarella cheese

Preheat oven to 400 degreesF. Mix the butter and garlic, spread on top of the rolled dough and top with parmesan and mozarella cheese. Bake for 9-10 minutes. Cool for 1-2 minutes before cutting.
