Ingredients

For the cheese layer:

  • 8 oz cream cheese softened
  • ½ cup Greek yogurt
  • ½ tsp dried oregano
  • ½ tsp dried basil
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp ground black pepper

To assemble:

  • 1 Tbsp olive oil
  • ¼ cup green onion chopped
  • ¼ cup yellow onion chopped
  • 1 clove garlic mined or grated
  • 1 Tbsp sliced black olives
  • 1 ½ cups jarred marinara or pizza sauce
  • 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ½ cup pepperoni slices
  • 2 tsp chopped fresh basil leaves

For the Garlic Bread Dippers:

  • 1 roll of store-bought pizza dough or use your favorite store-bought or homemade pizza dough!
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter melted
  • ¼ cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp dried oregano
  • ½ tsp dried basil
  • ¼ tsp salt

Instructions

For the Garlic Bread Dippers:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Roll pizza dough out gently and divide into 24 equal portions. I find it easiest to use a pizza cutter and divide the dough into 12 pieces, then slicing those portions in half.
  • Roll each portion out to resemble a breadstick. These will be shorter and wider than breadsticks, however, so don’t roll them out to be too long: this will impact cooking time if you do!
  • Arrange dippers on parchment lined baking sheet. Brush with butter mixture and bake for 10 minutes. They should be fragrant and golden brown.
  • Remove from oven and brush with any remaining butter.

To make the loaded pizza dip:

  • Add olive oil to a medium saute pan set over medium heat. Add chopped green pepper, onion, and garlic. Saute until fragrant and softened, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat as you prepare the remaining ingredients.
  • Combine cream cheese, greek yogurt, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl. Use a hand mixer or spatula to completely combine ingredients.
  • Spread cream cheese mixture on the bottom of a 9 inch pie plate (any oven safe vessel of the same size will work just fine).
  • Top with sauteed vegetables. Add sliced black olives and shredded mozzarella. Top with pepperoni slices.
  • Once garlic bread dippers have been removed from the oven, bake the loaded pizza dip for 15 minutes or until the cheese has melted and dip is warmed through.
  • Top with chopped basil and serve with warm garlic bread dippers!
