Ingredients

(Tip: You'll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

1 pound pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

½ teaspoon dried oregano

¼ teaspoon salt

¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 tablespoon finely chopped parsley (optional)

Marinara sauce, for dipping

Directions

I preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Then I roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface to about ½-inch thickness.

I cut the dough into small bite-sized pieces, about 1 to 1½ inches each.

I arrange the dough pieces on the baking sheet, making sure there's a little space between them.

In a small bowl, I mix the melted butter, olive oil, garlic powder, oregano, and salt.

I brush this garlic butter mixture generously over each dough bite.

I bake the bites for 15–18 minutes, or until they’re golden brown and puffed.

Once they’re out of the oven, I immediately sprinkle them with Parmesan and parsley while they’re still warm.

I serve them hot with marinara sauce on the side.

Servings and timing

This recipe makes 6 servings. It takes about 10 minutes to prep and 18 minutes to bake, so I’ve got delicious Parmesan Bread Bites ready in under 30 minutes. Each serving is about 160 kcal, making them perfect for sharing (or not, if I’m really hungry).

Variations

Cheesy overload: Sometimes I mix mozzarella with the Parmesan for extra cheesy goodness.

Spicy twist: I add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the butter mixture for a little heat.

Italian-style: I swap out the garlic powder for fresh minced garlic and add a bit of basil.

Stuffed bites: I press a small cube of mozzarella inside each dough piece before baking—melty surprises inside!

Everything seasoning: I sprinkle everything bagel seasoning over the top instead of oregano for a different flavor profile.

Storage/Reheating

If I have leftovers (which isn’t often), I store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, I pop them in a 350°F oven for about 5–7 minutes, or until warmed through. The toaster oven works great too. I avoid the microwave because it makes them too soft instead of crisp.

FAQs

How can I make the dough from scratch?

I use a simple pizza dough recipe with flour, yeast, water, olive oil, and a pinch of salt. If I’ve got the time, homemade dough gives these bites a rustic, chewy texture.

Can I freeze the bread bites?

Yes, I let them cool completely, then freeze in a single layer before transferring to a freezer-safe bag. To reheat, I bake them at 375°F straight from frozen for about 10–12 minutes.

What dipping sauces work well besides marinara?

I like to switch it up with ranch, garlic aioli, spicy sriracha mayo, or even a warm cheese sauce. It depends on the vibe I’m going for.

Can I make these gluten-free?

Absolutely. I just use a gluten-free pizza dough, either homemade or store-bought. Everything else in the recipe stays the same.

How do I keep the bread bites from getting soggy?

I always serve them fresh out of the oven for the best texture. If I’m reheating, I skip the microwave and use the oven or air fryer to crisp them back up.
