Recipe Notes
Bread – Any bread works, but a basic French stick / baguette gives the closest copycat to Dominos/Pizza Hut style. Typically around 60 cm long with 7–9 cm diameter.
Garlic flavour – It will mellow once cooked. Adjust raw butter mixture to taste before baking.
Serve immediately – Best eaten fresh from oven for crisp crust and soft interior.
