Method

  1. If necessary, allow the pizza dough to come to room temperature for about 1 hour.

  2. Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

  3. In a small pot, melt the butter over low heat. Add the garlic and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Cook and stir until the mixture starts to froth, which should take about 4 to 6 minutes. Remove the pot from heat and let it cool.

  4. On a lightly floured surface, stretch the dough into a 9-inch square shape.

  5. Sprinkle 1/2 cup of Parmesan cheese onto the dough and gently press the cheese into the dough using your hands.

  6. Using a sharp knife or bench scraper, cut the dough into 9 strips that are 1-inch wide. Make sure to separate each strip to prevent them from sticking together. Then, cut each strip crosswise into 1-inch pieces.

  7. Arrange the dough pieces on the prepared baking sheet in an even layer.

  8. Brush the dough with about one-third of the garlic butter.

  9. Sprinkle the dough with mozzarella cheese, sage, thyme, and the remaining 1/2 cup of Parmesan cheese.

  10. Bake the bread bites in the oven until they turn golden brown, which should take around 15 to 20 minutes.

  11. Immediately after removing the bread bites from the oven, brush them with the remaining garlic butter
