b) Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).

a) Divide the pizza dough into 15-20 pieces and roll each into a ball.
b) Pop the garlic butter into a large bowl, then mix in three quarters of the parsley.
c) Carefully add the dough balls to the bowl and toss to coat them in the garlic butter, then pop into a lined 20cm round baking tin in a single layer. TIP: The dough balls should be snug in the tin.
d) Pour over any remaining garlic butter, then sprinkle over the grated hard Italian style cheese. Pop into the oven until risen and golden, 24-26 mins.
a) While the dough balls bake, combine in a small bowl the pesto and mayonnaise.

c) Sprinkle over the remaining parsley and serve the pesto mayo alongside for dipping.
Enjoy!
