Yesterday I posted about my weekend and revealed a picture of Homemade Cheesy Bread. During my college years, we had a place called Pizza Time deliver us cheesy bread weekly (most often around midnight--because that is a great time to load your body with cheese and dough). Unfortunately, that cheesy bread introduced me to the freshman 15 (maybe 20) and I haven't had it since!
On Sunday, I felt like I could eat the entire kitchen after my 5 mile run and thought I would make some homemade cinnamon bread....which turned into homemade cheesy bread instead once RJ was on board with my need for carbs. From this recipe, we discovered a great dough recipe for pizza dough that I plan to use again in the future (sans butter garlic as the base).

DIRECTIONS:
- Heat water to 115 degrees, dissolve yeast and sugar (again, I left out the sugar). Allow yeast to proof.
- To the bowl of a stand mixer (with a bread attachment), add flour, salt, and garlic powder. With mixer running on low, slowly add yeast mixture, increase speed and mix until dough forms a ball and pulls away from the sides of the bow. Transfer to a lightly greased bowl, cover and allow to rise until doubled in size, roughly an hour. (I learned to put that bowl in a heated oven (on low, around 175 degrees) and leave the oven door open. Then the dough rises in half the amount of time!)
- Preheat the over to 425 degrees. Lightly grease a baking sheet. Roll out dough to desired size and shape.
- Melt butter with minced garlic. Brush over the entire surface of the dough. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and mozzarella. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until desired crispness is reached.
- Slice and serve immediately with optional dipping sauce (we used Trader Joe's Marinara!) Yum!
