What you need to make a cheesy garlic bread pizza recipe

To get the best out of your garlic bread pizza, you need to be careful with the types of cheese you use. A lot of stores use loads of cheese when making their pizzas, but that can do a number of things to your pizza – it can make the base too runny, the topping too runny and the overall texture too thick. The best way to get a cheesy garlic bread pizza right is to use a good quality cheddar cheese. You can use Goats or Gouda cheese but our favorite is cheddar.

How to make a cheesy garlic bread pizza

Start by making a pizza base out of whole-wheat flour. If you don’t like whole-wheat flour, feel free to use all purpose or white flour instead. Then, add in some seasonings like garlic powder, chili powder, dried oregano, dried basil, crushed red pepper and crushed black pepper. Toss the spices until well combined and use your hands to form a dough.

Once the dough is formed, use a pizza wheel or sharp knife to cut the dough into 4 equal pieces. The pieces can be shaped any way you like – into triangles, squares, circles or whatever you fancy. Once shaped, place the pieces of dough in a baking dish and cover with a baking paper. Now, let the bread rest for about 15-20 minutes until the dough is firm. It needs to be relatively dry so that the cheese has a chance to ooze.

Use a sharp knife to carefully make 3-4 diagonal cuts across the top of the bread. This will ensure that the cheese gets distributed evenly over the whole pizza. Now, bake the pizza in the pre-heated oven at 475F for 25-35 minutes or until the cheese gets golden and the bread is nicely browned on the outside. Remove from the oven and let it cool for 15 minutes before laying it out to cool for an hour. Once it’s completely cool, slice and serve.

This is one of the best things about making garlic bread pizza – you get to eat it with your hands. This is your chance to indulge in some cheesy mozzarella-ness. While you can always buy a slice of cheese-flavored cake or ice cream after a meal, once you make this bread you can’t stop eating it.

The secret to a crisp garlic bread

The best way to crisp up the bottom of your garlic bread is to bake it. You can either bake it on a baking tray or in a 350F oven. You can also use a gas oven if you don’t have a baking tray. Always follow the instructions on the box for your oven – if it tells you to bake for 25-35 minutes, then bake for that duration.
