Method
 

  1. Add the warm water to a bowl along with the yeast, salt and sugar. Mix well and allow it to sit for about 5 minutes to give the yeast time to work its magic. It should look bubbly and beautiful.

  6. Divide the dough into 8 pieces.
  7. Roll each piece out into a small circle. Add in one piece of cheese and form into a ball. Repeat.
  8. Grease a baking sheet and place each of the balls onto the baking sheet.
  9. Melt the butter and mix in the garlic powder and Italian seasoning.
  10. Brush each ball with the melted butter mixture and top with parmesan cheese.
  11. Bake for 10-12 minutes until golden brown.
  12. Top with more cheese if desired and serve with a marinara dipping sauce.
