Number Of Ingredients 10

1C water
2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast
1 tsp granulated sugar
2 1/2C all purpose flour
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1 Tbsp unsalted butter
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/4C Parmesan cheese
2-3C whole milk mozzarella cheese, shredded

Steps:

Heat water to 115°F, dissolve yeast and sugar. Allow yeast to proof.
To the bowl of a stand mixer add flour, salt and garlic powder. With mixer running on low, slowly add yeast mixture. Increase speed and mix until dough forms a ball and pulls away from the sides of the bowl. Transfer to a lightly greased bowl, cover and allow to rise until doubled in size, roughly 1 hour.
Preheat oven to 425°F. Lightly grease a baking sheet. Shape dough to desired size and shape.
Melt butter with minced garlic. Brush butter and garlic over entire surface of dough. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and mozzarella. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until desired crispness is reached.
Slice and serve immediately with optional dipping sauces.
