Marinara Pizza Cheesy Bread

Ingredients

• 0.25 cup olive oil (for layering the tray)
• 3 garlic (minced)
• black pepper (to taste)
• salt (to taste)
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• 1 lb pizza dough (fresh dough)
• 12 oz mozzarella cheese (shredded, divided)

Steps

1. 1

   Prepare a baking tray by layering it with a generous amount of olive oil, minced garlic, black pepper, salt, and dried oregano.

2. 2

   Place the fresh pizza dough on top of the oil and aromatics. Slather it across the tray and press it down firmly to fill the pan.

3. 3

   Top the dough with a healthy amount of shredded mozzarella cheese.

4. 4

   Bake in a preheated oven (typically 450°F / 230°C) until the dough is cooked through and the cheese is golden and bubbly.

5. 5

   Remove from the oven and slice the bread into super cheesy sticks.

6. 6

   Finish the hot sticks with an additional sprinkle of fresh mozzarella cheese.

7. 7

   Serve immediately with sides of signature marinara sauce and creamy vodka sauce for dipping.

Notes

This recipe is inspired by Marinara Pizza in New York City. For the best results, ensure the bottom of the dough is well-coated in the garlic-herb oil to achieve a crispy, flavorful crust.
