Skillet Garlic Bread

Ingredients

• 250 g Pizza dough (Rolled out into a disc or rectangle approximately 25 cm in size; the exact dough recipe is pinned on the original profile.)
• 1 tbsp Olive oil (For cooking the dough in the skillet.)
• 6 cloves Confit garlic (At room temperature and well drained.)
• 60 g Butter (Softened, for mixing with the confit garlic.)
• 25 g Grated Parmesan cheese (Some for the garlic butter and the rest for finishing the bread.)
• 1 tbsp Fresh parsley (Finely chopped.)
• Salt (To taste, bearing in mind that Parmesan is already salty.)

Steps

1. 1

   Prepare the garlic butter. Place the confit garlic in a bowl and mash it with a fork until it forms a coarse paste.

2. 2

   Add the softened butter, grated Parmesan, and chopped parsley. Mix everything until smooth and spreadable. Taste and adjust the salt if necessary.

3. 3

   Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface into a disc or rectangle of even thickness, approximately 25 cm in size. Avoid leaving areas that are excessively thin, as they could burn in the skillet.

4. 4

   Heat a large skillet, preferably cast iron or nonstick, over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and spread it over the base.

5. 5

   Place the rolled-out dough in the hot skillet. Cook for approximately 1 minute, until the underside begins to brown and a few bubbles appear.

6. 6

   Turn the dough and continue cooking, flipping it approximately every minute so it browns evenly. Cook until both sides are well browned and the dough is completely cooked, about 6-10 minutes total, depending on its thickness and the heat level.

7. 7

   Remove the bread from the skillet and place it on paper towels or a wire rack. Let it rest briefly so the excess oil can drain and the surface can set.

8. 8

   Generously spread the garlic butter over the still-hot bread. The residual heat will melt the butter and allow it to penetrate the dough slightly.

9. 9

   Finish with the remaining grated Parmesan and, if desired, a little more parsley. Serve immediately, cut into portions.

Notes

The video indicates that the dough comes from a recipe pinned on the profile, but that recipe is not available in the provided material. The quantities in this version are estimated for one piece of garlic bread serving two people. If the garlic butter is prepared in advance, it should be refrigerated and allowed to soften before spreading.
