Ingredients
For the Pizza Dough
- 2 ¼ teaspoons active dry yeast
- 1 cup warm water
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 2 cups bread flour
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons salt
- OR 1 LB OF PIZZA DOUGH IF YOU WANT TO SKIP DOUGH
For the Sauce and Herbs
- ½ cup butter melted
- ⅔ cup Parmesan or pecorino cheese grated
- 3 tablespoons fresh parsley chopped
- 5 scallions chopped
- 10 basil leaves chopped
- 5 cloves garlic minced
- Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
- 1 cup marinara or pizza sauce
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine the bread flour, all purpose flour and salt. Set aside.
- Combine the active yeast and water in a mixing bowl fitted with a dough hook. Let it sit for a few minutes to make sure your yeast is working. Add the sugar and mix for a quick second. Add the flour mixture in batches, scraping down the sides of the bowl. Let the dough hook work its magic for 5-6 minutes until the dough has come together into a large mass. Remove the dough to an oiled bowl and let rise for 60 minutes.
- After an hour, remove the dough from the bowl and cut into small ½ inch cubes. Dust with flour to prevent them from sticking together. Set aside.
- Butter and flour 6 small bundt pans. (You could also use a large bundt pan)
- Melt the butter in a small bowl.
- Combine the cheese, herbs, salt/pepper and garlic in a large bowl. Add the melted butter and mix together with a spoon. Toss in the cut dough and make sure it all gets a coat of the butter mixture. Start layering the cubes into the bundt pans until they are ¾ of the way full. Let sit for 30 minutes for the dough to rise a little more and while they are rising, preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Place bundt pans into the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes until the bread and cheese is golden brown. Serve with warmed marinara sauce or pizza sauce.
