Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 packet (2 ¼ tsp) instant yeast
- ¾ cup warm water (100°F to 110°F)
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 cup shredded low-moisture mozzarella cheese
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter (melted)
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley (chopped)
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine flour, instant yeast, salt, and garlic powder. Gradually add warm water while stirring until a dough forms. Knead on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth.
- Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rise in a warm area for approximately 30 minutes or until doubled in size.
- Meanwhile, melt the butter in a small saucepan and stir in chopped parsley once removed from heat.
- Punch down the risen dough and divide it into equal pieces. Flatten each piece, place mozzarella cheese in the center, and fold to enclose.
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Arrange stuffed bites on a parchment-lined baking sheet and brush with garlic butter.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown. Drizzle any remaining garlic butter over the bites before serving.
