Garlic Cheese Bombs

 Garlic. Cheese. Bombs. These are a must every single time I make homemade pizza. If I don't make these, everyone asks for them. Pizza night is just a disappointment without them. I can't NOT make these anymore.

To make the garlic cheese bombs, start with my basic pizza crust. One batch of my basic pizza crust recipe will make three dozen garlic cheese bombs. 

 

Once the dough has risen, divide the dough until you have 36 portions. I use a bench scraper and I just keep cutting halves until I get to 36 pieces.

Then I take chunks of mozzarella cheese, wrap the dough around them, and set them on a cookie sheet to rest and rise some more.

Before resting and rising.

Ready to bake!

Bake them in a 350 degree oven until they are starting to turn golden brown on top. While they are baking, melt 1/4 cup of butter and add 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt. When they are done, brush them with the garlic salt and butter mixture. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
