Cheesy Garlic Bread Menorah
It's not easy being cheesy, but it is easy to eat this Cheesy Garlic Bread Menorah!
Ingredients
- 16 oz pizza dough (homemade or store bought)
- 1 stick salted butter, softened (4 oz or 1/2 cup)
- 2 large garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tsp fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 tsp fresh oregano, chopped
- ¼ tsp red pepper flakes
- ¼ cup shredded Parmesan cheese
- ½ cup shredded mozzarella (or more!)
- 1 Yellow or orange bell pepper
Instructions
- Pre-heat the oven to 400 degrees F and prep a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium microwave safe bowl, combine the butter, garlic, parsley, rosemary, oregano, red pepper flakes, and Parmesan cheese.
- Divide your pizza dough in two pieces and roll out each into an 11 x 5 inch rectangle. I found this easiest to do right on the parchment lined baking sheet so you don't have to transfer the menorah to the baking sheet.
- Spread a healthy layer of the butter mixture onto one rectangle and top with mozzarella cheese and then with the other rectangle. You will have some butter mixture left over.
- With a pizza cutter or kitchen shears, cut a strip of dough the long way. This will be your menorah base. Cut this in half the short way into two pieces and twist each one. Put them together like a "T" and secure to a long end to make the menorah base. The cut slits into the top making 8 candles and a center shammash (trim the candles so that shammash is a little longer). Twist these into the candles.
- Cut flame shapes out of the pepper and securely top each candle with a flame.
- Microwave the remaining butter mixture until melted and brush on top of the menorah.
- Bake for 25 minutes or until golden brown. Eat immediately! You can prep it earlier in the day and bake before eating too.
