Step 1

Mix the lukewarm milk with yeast, 2 tbsp of all-purpose flour, and sugar in a medium bowl.

Step 12

Now take the bloomed dough out on the clean surface dusted with flour.

Step 13

Knead it for 5 to 8 minutes until smooth.

Step 14

Roll out the dough into a rectangle about 1-inch thick.

Step 15

Gently place it into the prepared baking sheet pan and spread it out gently while pressing with your fingers.

Step 16

Cover the dough in the pan with a kitchen towel and let it rest for 15 to 20 minutes.

Step 17

Meanwhile, preheat the oven at 400-degree F.

Step 18

After 20 minutes, bake the dough for 15 minutes.

Step 19

Take it out, brush on the garlic butter, and sprinkle the mozzarella cheese and parmesan cheese over it.

Step 20

Crank up the heat to 450-degrees F. Bake the cheesy garlic for 8 to 10 until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
