Notes

• Remember that the garlic flavour will mellow a bit as the garlic bread bakes in the oven, so if the garlic butter seems super garlicky, that’s exactly how it’s supposed to be!
• The garlic butter is going to add a delicious layer of flavour underneath the classic pizza flavours, so don’t skimp on the garlic!
• Save yourself time and energy by putting the garlic, parsley, and butter in the food processor. The food processor will mince the garlic and parsley while combining it with the butter for a really smooth, easily spreadable garlic butter.
