1 13.8 ounce tube refrigerated pizza crust
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 teaspoon + 1 pinch of garlic powder, divided
1 egg
1 tablespoon water
1 tablespoon grated parmesan
1 tablespoon salted butter
Fresh parsley, optional

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375℉ and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Unroll the pizza dough onto the parchment paper and press into a rectangle.
Sprinkle the mozzarella and cheddar cheese down the center third of the dough.
Sprinkle ½ teaspoon garlic powder over the cheeses.
Use a pizza cutter to cut each side of the braid into about 12 strips.
Fold the strips of dough over the filling, alternating sides.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and 1 tablespoon of water; brush the egg wash over the dough.
Sprinkle the parmesan cheese over the braid then bake for 16-18 minutes, or until golden brown.
Melt the butter; stir in the pinch of garlic powder and brush it over the cooked braid.
Sprinkle with optional fresh parsley.
Slice and serve warm with marinara sauce, if desired.
