Anyways on Pinterest there has been a ton of recipes floating around for copy cat recipes and figured I might as well try it out, plus with me making my own pizza crust now I have been looking for something to do with the extra roll of pre-made crust in the fridge. My recipe is based off of Joshua Trent's Recipe , however with mine I have simplified it and added in some extra seasonings Copy Cat Cheesy Bread Ingredients: -1 can of pizza dough -1/2 cup of butter -8oz of Mozzarella Cheese -Parmesan Cheese -Garlic Salt -Italian Seasoning Directions: 1) Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees 2) Melt 1/4 cup of butter in the microwave and pour into the bottom of a cookie sheet with a small lip around it 3) Un-roll pizza dough and place on top of butter 4) Melt another 1/4 cup of butter in microwave and brush onto top of pizza crus
