Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • Pizza dough (enough to roll out to about 1/8 inch thick)
  • Olive oil (for brushing dough)
  • Marinara sauce (thin layer to spread on dough)
  • Mozzarella cheese (shredded, generous amount)
  • Italian seasoning (oregano, basil, thyme blend)
  • Garlic powder (to taste)
  • Parmesan cheese (grated, for sprinkling)
  • Red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough: Roll out your pizza dough on a clean surface into a thin rectangle or circle, about 1/8 inch thick. The thinner the dough, the crispier the chips will be, so ensure it is evenly spread.
  2. Add Olive Oil and Sauce: Brush a light coat of olive oil evenly over the dough to aid crisping. Next, spread a thin, even layer of marinara sauce over the surface—just enough to infuse flavor without making the dough soggy.
  3. Sprinkle Seasonings and Cheese: Evenly distribute Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauced dough. Add a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese and red pepper flakes if desired for extra flavor and spice.
  4. Cut and Bake: Using a pizza cutter or sharp knife, slice the dough into bite-sized squares or triangles. Arrange the pieces on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 10-15 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
  5. Cool and Enjoy: Remove the chips from the oven and transfer them to a wire rack to cool for a few minutes. Cooling helps maintain their crunch. Serve warm or at room temperature for the best taste and texture.

Notes

  • Roll the dough as thin as possible to achieve maximum crispiness.
  • Distribute toppings evenly and avoid overloading sauce or cheese to maintain chip crunch.
  • Use parchment paper to prevent sticking and simplify cleanup.
  • Allow chips to cool completely before serving or storing to preserve texture.
  • Monitor baking time closely to avoid burning, as ovens may vary.
