Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted butter, softened
- 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
- 2 tablespoons Grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1.5 teaspoons Dried oregano
- 1.5 teaspoons Dried basil
- 0.5 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, add the softened unsalted butter and whip it using a spatula or hand mixer until light and fluffy.
Add the tomato paste, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, dried oregano, dried basil, crushed red pepper flakes (if using), salt, and freshly ground black pepper to the bowl.
Mix all the ingredients together until well combined, making sure the spices and tomato paste are evenly distributed throughout the butter.
Transfer the pizza butter onto a sheet of parchment paper or plastic wrap. Shape it into a log or any desired form, then wrap it tightly.
Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld and the butter to firm up.
Once firm, slice the pizza butter as needed or use a small amount to spread on bread, toast, or other dishes.
Store any unused pizza butter in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or freeze for up to 3 months.
