Ingredients

Garlic Bread Dough

  • 2/3 C 80g All Purpose Flour
  • 1 2/3 scoops 55g Protein Powder, unflavored
  • 1 Egg
  • 1/4 tsp Baking Powder
  • 2 tsp Mrs. Dash Italian Medley or onion and herb
  • 3-5 tsp Water added slowly as needed

Topping

  • 1 Tbsp 14g Salted Light Butter, unsalted works as well
  • 1 tsp Minced Garlic one clove, minced
  • 1/4 C 28g Shredded Parmesan
  • 1/4 C 28g Fat-Free Shredded Mozzarella

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a small bowl, mix dough ingredients together. Add 1/2 tsp water or wet your mixing spoon 3-4 times until you can form a ball of dough with your hands. This may take a few minutes and some elbow grease. Use a rolling pin or the backside of a spatula to form a large rectangle (14x10-sh) on the baking sheet with the finished dough. (It may help to spray your rolling pin with nonstick cooking spray.)
  • Double check that your crust is evenly rolled. If you have a thicker center than edges, your edges will be crispy but the center may be tough.
  • Melt butter for 15-20 seconds in the microwave and add 1 tsp of minced garlic. Stir. 
  • Brush or spread the butter/garlic mixture on top of your rolled dough, followed by the parmesan and mozzarella cheese.
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges of your bread are golden brown.
