Who doesn’t love the comforting aroma of warm bread fresh from the oven? This recipe brings you all the delightful smells and tastes of homemade bread baking, but with the convenience of being fast and easy to make.

Ingredients:
- 1/3 cup butter
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 – 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 pre-baked pizza crusts
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
Instructions:
-
Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 450Β°F (230Β°C). Lightly grease two baking sheets to prevent sticking.
-
Prepare Garlic Butter: In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and simmer for about 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to infuse into the butter. Remove the saucepan from the heat and set aside.
-
Prepare Pizza Crusts: Place the pre-baked pizza crusts on a clean work surface. Using a pastry brush, generously coat each crust with half of the garlic butter mixture. Ensure that the butter is spread evenly over the surface of each crust.
-
Sprinkle with Cheese: Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the buttered pizza crusts. Adjust the amount of cheese according to your preference, aiming for a deliciously cheesy flavor in every bite.
-
Season: Sprinkle dried oregano and basil over the cheese-covered crusts. These aromatic herbs will enhance the overall flavor profile, adding a touch of freshness and complexity to the dish.
-
Cut into Wedges: Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, cut each prepared pizza crust into 12 wedges. This will create bite-sized pieces that are perfect for snacking or sharing with friends and family.
-
Bake: Arrange the wedges on the prepared baking sheets, ensuring that they are evenly spaced to allow for proper air circulation. Place the baking sheets in the preheated oven and bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the crusts are golden brown and crispy.
-
Serve: Once baked to perfection, remove the toasted pizza crust wedges from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before serving. These irresistible snacks are best enjoyed warm, straight from the oven, alongside your favorite dips or as a tasty accompaniment to soups, salads, or pasta dishes.
