Let’s Make it Together
Prepare Your Dough: In a large bowl, combine flour, instant yeast, salt, garlic powder, and dried herbs. Mix until combined.

Add Cheese Goodness: Fold in half of your shredded parmesan cheese into the dough until well incorporated. This is where the magic begins!
Let It Rise!: Cover your bowl with a damp cloth and let it rise in a warm place for about 30 minutes until it doubles in size.
Shape Your Bites: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Punch down the dough and divide it into bite-sized pieces. Roll each piece into small balls.
Bake to Perfection!: Place your dough balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for about 12-15 minutes until golden brown; don’t forget to sprinkle remaining parmesan on top before baking!
