FAQs

Do I Have To Use A Stand Mixer?

No, you can mix and knead the dough by hand—just knead until smooth and elastic.

Can I Use Instant Yeast Instead?

Yes, but reduce the proofing time slightly as instant yeast rises faster.

Why Is My Dough Not Rising?

Make sure your yeast is fresh and the water isn’t too hot or cold—it should be warm but not scalding.

Can I Make The Dough Ahead Of Time?

Yes, you can refrigerate the dough after the first rise and bring it to room temperature before baking.

What’s The Best Pan Size To Use?

A standard 13×18 inch sheet pan works perfectly for even thickness and baking.

Can I Use Fresh Garlic Instead Of Garlic Salt?

Yes—sauté minced garlic in butter first, then brush over the dough before baking.

Can I Make These Vegan?

Use a plant-based butter substitute and omit the cheese or use vegan cheese.

How Do I Make Them Extra Crispy?

Bake a few minutes longer or place under the broiler for 1–2 minutes at the end.

Can I Double This Recipe?

Absolutely—just use two sheet pans or bake in batches.

What Can I Serve These With?

Perfect with marinara sauce, soups, salads, or alongside pasta dishes like lasagna or spaghetti.

Instructions

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine warm water, yeast, sugar, and salt. Let it rest for 5–10 minutes until bubbly.
2. Using a stand mixer with a dough hook attachment, gradually add the flour to the yeast mixture. Mix until the dough forms a loose ball.

5. Place the dough in the center of the sheet pan. Starting from the middle, press the dough outward toward the edges until it covers the entire bottom of the pan.
6. Pour the remaining melted butter over the top of the dough, ensuring the entire surface is covered. Evenly sprinkle the parmesan cheese, garlic salt, and Italian seasoning over the top.
7. Let the dough rest for 15–20 minutes, allowing it to rise to about 1 inch thick.
